House : The house is wonderful. Cozy, very clean, entirely renovated, and fully equipped. Great taste and atmosphere. A comfortable open space with living room and kitchen perfect for 1-2 people. The house was nicely stocked with the basics. The weather got pretty hot during our stay (mid 90s) and the house has no air conditioning, but both floors remained unexpectedly cool; The second floor has a pleasant bedroom, lots of storage space and a bathroom worthy of a very nice hotel. Definitely an address for our next trip to Brussels.
Neighborhood. If you are looking to be in the middle of a touristic area, Boitsfort is not it. Although it is in the capital, this neighborhood has more the feeling of a village where people set up their art workshop, take time to talk to each other. Within a block or two, you get all the basics. The Sunday market, bakery, grocery store, newsstand, pharmacy; several restaurants and a wonderful ice cream place…. As importantly the house is within a couple of minutes of good and tram lines with direct connection to downtown and the metro. No need for a car. A very pleasant and practical neighborhood.
Host: The host made out stay very easy, both before our arrival and during our stay. Always responding right away to our request.
A big thank you. This is definitely our address for future visits.
