Stayed at Tarik's place in mid May. The weather was pretty mild. Daytime temperatures in the 70s. At night, it dipped to around 50 to 60 degrees fahrenheit. So my experience did not involve using A/C or heat.
You can't beat this location - its central to everything! Easy access to the Les Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, Grand Place and Brussels Central Station. As it's close to Brussels Central, you can hop on the train and travel to Antwerp, Ghent and Brugges (my personal favorite) without an hassle. Not many grocery stores around which isn't a problem for me at all. It's perfect for visitors who would like stay in Brussels or Belgium for less than a week. Staying here, you will be able to walk to most tourist spots.
Closed to restaurants, cafes and bars - there are tons of restaurants and bars close by. A bunch of chocolatiers around if you're looking to buy some authentic Belgium chocolates.
Communication - Tarik is great and was willing to accommodate my schedule. I initially asked if I can leave my luggage somewhere if I arrive earlier than my check-in time and he said yes. When I had to arrive late on that date and he said he woulda been away by then, he gave his key to the restaurant owner directly below the apartment building and asked to collect it from him. Tarik also responds to my airbnb questions / messages very quickly.
All in all, I highly recommend this place. Great location, reasonable pricing and friendly host!
