Maxime’s apartment provides a great location to explore Brussels. 5 min walk to the shopping district including Gucci and Prada. Only a 15 min walk to the old town center where there is plenty of restaurants and cafes. On the downside and at no fault to Maxime, please be aware that the apartment is located up a few flights of narrow stairs with no elevator available. Not too difficult but still a challenge with heavier luggage. Also the apartment hallways reek of cigarette smoke from the neighbors. Plus we had to experience multiple nights of neighbors beginning their party after midnight, which ultimately made it very difficult to sleep. Again, well aware it is not Maxime’s fault, just stating my experience. Otherwise, a very lovely and accommodating place to stay minus those issues.
