Sam’s place was pretty much what I expected from the previous reviews - it is in an excellent location with easy access to most things. The check-in and check-out was seamless - there is a lock box with a combination code and that makes arrival easier when you are unsure as to your exact arrival time. Sam forwarded information on the restaurants in the area and I tried out a few of those with my daughter, who also lives in Ixcelles. The Lidl grocery store is super handy (just down the street) and that makes life easy when grabbing a quick breakfast or snack, etc. I stayed at Sam’s place twice - the first time I think the cleaner had not quite finished cleaning the property. The rugs, etc were all bunched up on the windowsill - I wasn’t sure what they were or where they went so I just left them there. The second time I went back, they were in place and all was good. There were a few other minor cleaning issues - the bathroom garbage hadn’t been cleared away from the previous occupant and I would have appreciated a small broom, even a whisk, to sweep up some of my own crumbs. The first time I was there, there was a dishcloth but the second time, only a sponge. Its hard to wipe counters well with a sponge I find but maybe that’s just personal preference. I tried to leave the place as clean as I could but some basic cleaning supplies would have helped. Other than those small things, the place is great with a comfy bed, a small table for my daughter and I to have a nice meal together one night and good wifi connections. All in all, it was perfect for my needs. Thanks, Sam!
