Tarik's cozy little apartment is just a few building behind Grand Place, and the beautifully lit tower visible through the windows is a wonderful sight to go to sleep to. The apartment is right on Rue des Bouchers, a very active alley filled with restaurants - in fact, there is a restaurant right on the ground floor of the building. The apartment is pretty quiet at night, although during the day there is construction going on behind the building, so no sleeping in for now. The apartment is well furnished and functional with a small fridge, microwave, small electric stove, kitchen sink and some dishes. Internet connection was sufficiently fast. Tarik was very cooperative in coordinating the arrival logistics. Be aware that the alley is a pedestrian only zone, so you can't take a taxi to the building - this didn't affect our plans, though, since it was a short walk from the metro and tram stops anyway.
Overall, it was an excellent stay in Brussels.
