This was a great room for exploring Brussels. The room was clean and bright, with a nice bathroom and little kitchen with some food already in the cupboards and fridge that we could use. The area of St Gilles is great, lots of good bars and restaurants nearby, and it's easy to get into the centre of Brussels on public transport or driving. Mariano was flexible with arrival times and met us at a time that was convenient for us. It was an ideal base for exploring the city and the rest of Belgium (as there's parking and Bruges an hour by car, Gent is 40 mins).
