This was a absolutely charming flat in the middle of Brussels. You really couldn't get any more central with the Grand Place and Bourse within 5 minute walking distance. The host, who picked us up at the Central Station, welcomed us with some delicious Belgian chocolates and beer (which we did not hesitate to enjoy). He also left a few personal welcoming touches to greet us too which was very sweet. Furthermore the apartment was clean, warm and modern and we loved the design. The host also left behind handwritten notes with suggestions of the good restaurants and places to visit in Brussels which were slightly less touristy than what is around there and we were fully delighted by the city's culinary delights. I would insist you read them first before you wander off looking for a bite to eat. I however would warn future guests that like many European flats in higher floors, this one did not have an elevator. While it was fine for our everyday business, it did create a challenge when we arrived and left the flat with our heavy suitcases. Also while the town is generally safe, take extra care with your wallets and smartphones in crowded places in Brussels as my traveling companion had his stolen while dining at an outdoor fish shop nearby. The police station is conveniently nearby the flat but this was a visit we could have done without.
