Valeska's apartment was cosy and homey which was valued after a few weeks in motels! It was neat and tidy and contained everything we needed. It was very close to a metro station and only a 20minute walk from centrale train station which lets you catch trains to the country areas. There are also plenty of food stores near by. Valeska was also a great host - very friendly and welcoming and she provided plenty of information about Brussels and surrounds. I throughly enjoyed my stay at Valeska's and would definitely recommend her to others :-)
