This place has no suitable heating system!
After touring Belgium for the last two weeks I needed a final place in Brussels before my flight. Nothing fancy, something under $100 for a night. This listing is in a good location, met my budget needs and is easily accessible by the metro system. During the summer this place may be suitable for $88 but It was on last minute sale price too! My complaint is that at 40 degrees the unit is not equipped to be a pleasant experience. The simple wall heating system could not keep up with the large space, and drafty old Windows. The communication I received leading up to the stay was good up until I recognized that certain amenities weren’t available 1) the internet wasn’t working. As a work trip for me, this was a deal breaker 2) the bedding on a extremely cheap hideaway bed came with one sheet( nice quality) and one blanket( not meant for sleeping or anything remotely close to a duvet). This might work in the summer but at 40 degrees Fahrenheit and raining, the place was an ice box. There was no way $88 became worth my time staying the night.
As I started to disclose these issues with Turkan, Communication stopped.
I called Airbnb to cancel my stay, and they helped, but discovered that this Airbnb unusually DID NOT LIST HEAT AS AN AMENITY. Therefor the company could not legally reimburse me, as my experience doesn’t fall under a breech of service. It would now be entirely up to Turkan to cancel my stay. Which as I post this I still haven’t heard back from this host about the heat or cancellation.
I ended up not staying at this location and opted for a hotel down the street for $120 and likely am charged for a stay I never had. The most alarming part is that $88 was at a sale price, and originally more expensive then the great hotel I spent my night in.
I would not choose this place if I were you.
