We didn't have the chance to meet Alin, but his place is great if you want to visit Brussels. Good location, big and comfortable room, great bed, full equipped kitchen, everything you might need. Thanks for his notes and explanations, the check in and check out are very easy. The only bad experience we had was the theft of a personal item from the bathroom by a roommate. But this has nothing to do with Alin as a host. We totally recommend staying at his place.
