Our stay at Manuel’s apartment was amazing. The apartment is really close to Brussels central station and to the main square as well. Shopping malls and supermarkets are available within a 5 minute walk. The restaurant Ricotta & Parmesan which is located next to the entrance of the building, also offers nice Italian dishes.
Manuel and Catherine were super helpful and ready to answer any question. You can even talk to them to leave your bags before you do the check-in at 15:00, in case you arrived to the city a little earlier.
Keep in mind that to get to the apartment you have to go several stairs and also within the apartment to go to sleep or to the bathroom.
