Viviane and her apartment are both special. Much larger than it appears in the pictures, it is a bright, very well appointed, quiet, exceptionally clean, with an interesting layout and tastefully decorated in a way that reflects Viviane's personality. You'll find yourself in a really wonderful home. Although Viviane was away on holidays, her daughter met me in the middle of a weekend afternoon and show me around. She and Viviane had left enough provisions to get me through the rest of the day. You can see right away why Viviana is a super host. From this top floor apartment you can see the tram, bus line, and subway station, which connects with Brussels midi, just a few minutes away. Some have suggested that because it's on the top floor it may get hot in the summertime. It wasn't hot for me and the apartment has interesting layout that I suspect will enable a pleasant bleeze through it should get warm. Yes, it's four floors up without an elevator, and I'm no spring chicken, but I'd happily book it again. There are many stores around in a small shopping centre also across the street that will provide you with everything you need for short or long stay. I really didn't want to leave Viviane's place, and if I ever come back to Brussels I know where I'd want to stay.
