There are people trying to make a few extra bucks on airbnb and then there are the rare HOSTS. Bernard is the absolute BEST host. I have stayed in airbnbs multiple times but my stay here will be hard to beat. I was here only for two nights with my mom and sister and we all wish we booked longer here.
Bernard's attention to detail is unmatched. When we arrived there was proper setting on the dining table for exactly 3 people and a nice bottle of red wine. There was a setting for 3 on the coffee table for tea with sugar cubes and all next to a vase of fresh flowers. The refrigerator was stocked with orange juice and milk and we had a baguette for breakfast. In the bathroom there were 3 different colored clean towels hanging so we could each tell who's was who's. A jar with hand made soap pieces from the nearby soap shop sat on the shelf for sampling. The apartment itself was so incredibly charming and decorated with Bernard's own beautiful artwork.
Communication was never an issue and I received responses within an hour! Check in very smooth. The flat was spotless and extremeley tidy. It is just as the pictures shown. The beds are extremely comfortable (including the pull out) with plush comforters for all beds. We had everything we needed for a very pleasant stay and we felt right at home.
The location is absolutely prime. And there are amazing specialty shops, boutiques, antiquing, and Michelin guide restaurants within steps. Metro is maaaybe a 7 min walk. You really get the sense of the neighborhood and what it's like if you're lucky to live in this charming part of the city.
If you are in Brussels look no further. You will not be disappointed with your stay here. After our long trip around Europe and many airbnbs later, this was all our favorite. Thank you Bernard! I can't wait to visit again.
