A prompt reply to my inquiry, exchange of information, and warm welcome started off our stay. Place was the right size, lots of light, in a charming area 30 minutes away by public transport to the centre of Brussels. As a long-time Brussels resident, I knew it was a pleasant neighbourhood. The only drawback was road work began just after 07:30 on the Saturday morning. Dorothee mentioned the square was undergoing renovation when I asked about parking. I understand she cannot control the noise and what type it will be, and when this will happen. etc. As works will continue - without discouraging anyone - I would suggest that if you are an early riser anyway and like to be out and about first thing in the morning, this will not be an issue at all. If you like to lie in later in the morning and hang around the apartment, just bear this in mind. Other than that, enjoy the place and Brussels. When work is completely finished, it will be an ideal base from which to explore the Belgian capital from.
