First, for the positive. The location of this apartment is amazing! It is easy to walk here from the central train station and it is within a 5 min walk of the Grand Place and tons of great shops and restaurants.
Now, on to the negative. We had the place booked for two nights and ended up leaving after one night and getting a refund because we felt it was very unclean and we were uncomfortable. The towels were old and it didn’t feel like it had been deep cleaned prior to our arrival, to the point we didn’t use the kitchen or shower because it felt dirty. The couch had some stains and there was an odor on the couch and in the cabinets. There was grime and dust in the shower.
I will say though, in-spite of these issues, Manuel was very responsive and helped us get a partial refund! The apartment is secure and if you just need a bed for the night and you aren’t looking to use the kitchen or shower, this might be more your speed.
