The apartment is really nice, very spacious, high ceilings, tall doors, I was very impressed. It's an old building though so has some old building smell, not bad though. Neighborhood is ok. The only negative I have is the host's communication. I didn't get check in information until 1 hr before I was supposed to check in, despite me sending a few messages. It got me nervous as I was coming from a different country and had never been to Brussels before. From the other comments it seems other have had communication issues as well.
