I stayed at Maarten's from January 3rd to March 31st. The room and the whole apartment were exactly as the photos show, with the extra of a great deal of light during the day in my room which is perfect for working. The building has been recently renovated and is autonomous from the one where Maarten and his family live which make it all the more convenient but at the same time, having the host so close is ideal for any issues that might arise since the response time is always very quick. The location of the building is excellent for those working near the city center and specially for those seeking to do short-time stays or work at the EU institutions since its a short 20 min walk or a bus/metro/tram ride from the city center and the institutions. There are plenty of restaurants and supermarkets around and the area is lively and accesible. I would recommend Maarten's place to anyone seeking comfortable, clean and reliable accommodation in Brussels and I will definitely book it for my next stay when I come back!
