I stayed for one night before returning to the UK.
Nice location in the centre of Brussels. Spacious living room and bedroom. Netflix. Lots of shops nearby.
But: bed bugs. I woke up to find a number of bites along my arm and hand. All were closely grouped together and developed into swollen itchy bumps.
After contacting the host about the bites and sending photos, the host has stopped replying.
I did not have time to search for bugs as I needed to check out. It is possible that I could also have got the bugs from elsewhere. Or they came from whoever stayed before me. For anyone who does stay at the apartment, if you also encounter the same, do let the host know because bed bugs can be an absolute pain.
I was also unable to use the electric cooker. This was due to the appliance not being properly earthed and would set off the main fuse box once it was plugged in.
The place is nice but for reasons mentioned above I can't currently recommend it.
