Although Patrick was unable to meet us personally, he sent a friend/neighbour, Guillaume, who gave us a warm welcome at the gate. Guillaume was friendly, clear and precise in introducing the apartment to us. The building and apartment, though really old, has a rustic charm to its surroundings, with unique designs throughout the house. Everything worked as fine (heating, lights, washing machine, dryer etc. but I do recommend Patrick to provide a gas lighter instead of a usual fire lighter to light the stove as we get easily burnt by the fire. Would appreciate if there was a clothing stand in the second bedroom too. The bathroom was also easily flooded as there are no structures to block the water from flowing out the bath. These are little little things that could be neglected but be improvised on. Other than that, Patrick was prompt in replies. Location is extremely close to Bruxelles Midi train station too. Recommended! :-)
