Joanna’s apartment was tastefully decorated and was located in a great area. Just on the outskirts of the Brussels city center, the St. Giles neighborhood was quaint and hip with plenty of restaurants, cafes, and bars to hang out at and also had a metro station nearby.
The apartment itself was neat. While she was in the middle of some remodeling work during our stay, we found the space cozy and attractive. Be aware the unit is on the top floor with no lift access, so bringing children up or lots of heavy luggage can prove to be challenging. The fantastic kitchen and modern hot shower more than made up for it.
Joanna herself was a great host. She took the time to meet with us, walk us through the apartment, and shared lots of local recommendations. She was very responsive and friendly and funny to boot.
