The location of the apartment is great to explore the main attractions of Brussels. Everything is within walking distance from this small building that has been renovated to accommodate a number of Airbnb properties. It seems to be on the border with a more "run down" part of the city, but it felt very safe. There is a lot of construction on the avenue where the apartment is located, but there was no noise coming from that part of the street. The apartment also have a window facing a small inner court, and surprisingly, this is where noise did come from - noise neighbors talking very loudly in the middle of the night. Thankfully, the hosts scatter earplugs all over the apartment, a very thoughtful gesture.
The apartment has everything one might need for a visit to Brussels. I spent there just one night, but there is no doubt in my mind that it would be suitable for a longer stay as well. There is lots of commerce around (bars, shops, supermarkets), as is ample public transportation. Communication with the hosts, whom I did not meet, was fast and efficient, a true model of service!
