We had high expectations through the Airbnb listing, yet Aitor's flat exceeded them. The location in St Gilles, a 20 minutes walk from Zuid train station, is brilliant. Just outside the historical centre, it is residential, well into gentrification, full of little eateries and gorgeous Art Nouveau - The Musée Horta is a real jewel just around the corner. The flat is very quiet and spacious, the whole 3rd floor of a 100 years old private house, with high ceilings and enormous windows back and front and a small balcony at the back. It looks newly renovated and everything is of good quality and very, very tasteful. The bathroom is huge and has a large rainfall shower and freestanding bathtub. Bedding is vast and comfortable. The kitchen is equipped for proper cooking and eating. Everything is of high standard and impeccably clean. The cherry on the cake: efficient heating so we were toasty warm in spite of the vast rooms and cold winter days. Aitor responded to your messages helpfully and almost instantly, and recommended a very good little restaurant nearby. He allowed us to leave our luggage in the house till the afternoon of our last day.
