Sara was a lovely host and her place was everything we were hoping for. The apartment is located very conveniently, about a 10 min slow walk from the Schuman or Maelbeek metro stations and a minute away from a number of bus stations. This places you right in the heart of the EU district and very close to the Parc du Cinquantenaire. Whether you opt for exploring Brussels major sights on foot or getting there by metro, you will be very conveniently located at Sara’s. The neighborhood is very quiet and a visual experience of its own with lovely old buildings, each with their own distinctive features. The apartment is tastefully done, with modern (and conveniently separate!) shower and toilet (towels, hairdryer, iron and ironing board also provided), comfortable bed and an armchair by the window. There is also probably the cheapest and best stocked mini bar I have ever seen (everything on offer is just one euro per item) and a shared kitchen space with everything you need to make tea, coffee or more. Everything was spotless clean. Wi-Fi is also available and very good. The offer of TV channels could be a bit broader, but we didn’t bother with watching TV anyway.
Check in and check out were very easy and relaxed, even with us being 3 hours late for check-in and leaving our bags in the house after the check-out and picking them up in the afternoon. Everyone we communicated with from Sara to the housekeeper were very kind. Sara gave us some precious tips for getting the maximum out of our short stay in Brussels. She was also quick to respond to all our questions before and during the stay and generally a very pleasant person to chat with.
We have not tried the breakfast on offer but I’m sure it would have been great just as everything else.
All in all this place was a great experience and good value for money. If I ever land in Brussels again, I’ll choose Sara!
