Don’t walk, run to Aitor’s spot here in St. Gilles. I spent a month in this cozy neighborhood, brushing up on my Français and experiencing the best of Brussels.
Aitor checked in multiple times, offered up advice, I really felt supported during my stay.
I had two friends I made in Brussels comment to me what a smart move I made coming to his spot. Local & American approved. ;)
I would return to any of his properties in a heartbeat.
You need to relax in the beautiful bath at some point, and make sure you check out: Chausée de Charleroi for cute cafes, the gym (Basic-fit here met all my gym needs, only a few euros per day), and the Delhaze grocery mart was very convenient as well. Chocolate croissant? Oui.
Jat’ cafe, Stella’s cafe, Jackie’s we’re some of my favorite spots for coffee and breakfast.
It was also a quick tram ride on this road into the city center of Brussels, take the 92 Fort Jaco tram.
The pizza shop on the corner is a must in St. Gilles: Da Momo. Fresh, affordable - def snag two slices on your way home.
The area is very safe. I felt confident walking by myself. The flat is spacious (2 beds) and the terrace had me starting my mornings on such a beautiful note overlooking the city in the distance.
I could keep going. But why haven’t you booked this already? It’s 10/10.
Thank you Aitor for such an amazing experience in Brussels.
Cheers,
Ryan
