At first Youssef was hard to reach in the lead up to the stay, however closer to arrival date he responded quickly and efficiently. Check in and out was smooth, Youssef was agreeable and flexible. The apartment wasn't that central, took 30 mins to centre of Brussels. No coffee shops in the locality and a lot of things closed at the weekend. The apartment is the host's primary residence and it really felt like that when you were there. Didn't feel ready for guests when we arrived.
