great location. heart of St. Gilles and close to center. Pascal is a great host. he offers some welcome food and water and he looks after you for any request you may have. the 1 bedroom apt is spacious and clean and the kitchen is reasonably equipped. The apartment is below street level with windows opening on the pavement which is not totally uncommon in Brussels but, unless you want to spend plenty time indoors during the day it won't be a problem. noise wise apart from the occasional passers by with weekly suitcases it's ok the street is quite calm. I certainly will be back
