My stay at Serenia’s was really good. It was a long stay, of over 3 months, and for a long time I was teleworking due to lockdown, so spending most of the day in the flat. It is small, but it is clean for the most part and comfortable. It is a 5 minute walk from the Berlaymont building and Schuman area, so well situated. The area is much quieter than I expected. I wouldn’t recommend the flat for long stays but for short brief trips, Serenia’s flat would be ideal.
Serenia responds quickly and herself and Alan were very helpful whenever I had issues.
There were only two issues. this might just be me, but my room was attracting mosquitoes even into the colder months. This may have been an issue with an non-functioning extractor fan that meant that the flat stayed humid after a shower, but I’m not sure. Bring repellent and bite cream!
Also, the washing and drying machine as advertised downstairs do not work very well. I found they were not registering any of my coins. However, there are 2 perfectly good launderettes within a 5 minute walk of the flat. Nearby, Limpio Wash costs €3,50 for one wash and 50c per 8 minutes drying.
Serenia was also kind and thoughtful and sought to provide me with some cooking utensils ahead of my stay. During my stay, the electric hob was also upgraded to an induction hob.
A really good stay, recommended for short stays and business visits.
