Staying with Alin was great. We never met him, but the self check-in service worked perfectly and we had no problems after. Be aware that you likely will have flatmates and you will be sharing a bathroom as that was not immediately obvious to me. Nonetheless, everything was incredibly clean and Alin had everything we wanted available. He had labeled everything excessively so you won't have any issues finding anything.

While the flat is a bit of a walk from the Grand Place (15-20 minutes), we rather liked staying in a different area and there was plenty to do there anyway. The room was huge as promised and we felt right at home for a few days in Brussels. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.
