Mieke's place is WONDERFUL. We spent a month here while looking for own apartment in Brussels. The apartment is very pleasant, it felt like home after only a day or two. The garden is fantastic, a godsend for our dog as he adapts to his new city, and a delight for us too. We like the neighborhood so much we ended up choosing an apartment only a few blocks away. The kitchen is not huge - not for those who need counter space for elaborate meals - but more than adequate for light cooking. And, Mieke is a very conscientious and charming host. Highly recommended.
