It is no surprise to me that Alessio is a Super Host. I would call him a Super Duper Host. He puts into practice so warmly and elegantly the mission and philosophy of Airbnb by truly welcoming you into his gorgeous home, and making you feel like one of the family, while enthusiastically sharing his copius knowledge about the culture and history of Brussels and Belgium. I learned so much from him! Including lots of helpful tips on places to go. The location is excellent and within easy walking distance of the Grand Place and other popular tourist sites. The apartment is gorgeous, recently renovated with deep attention to detail that incorporates the modern while thoughtfully preserving the old world heritage of the building and rooms. Absolutely sparkling clean everywhere. Super comfy bed. I felt so at home as Alessio shares the space and his time copiously and encourages you to use the living room and kitchen as you like. It was also wonderful to meet some of his fascinating friends and be invited to share a drink or bite with them. I look forward to returning one day and have only positive memories. I was in Brussels for an exciting professional event, and staying at Alessio's place just made it all the more memorable. My expectations were far exceeded and I highly recommend The Urban Jungle.
