Rik responds to messages very quickly, communication was great. Listing is slightly north of the City centre which takes about 15-25 minutes by foot. The good thing is that the location is very near the bus station (Flixbus, Megabus, Eurolines) if you're arriving or departing via bus. You're basically going to stay in his bedroom while he sleeps in the living room. He gives you all the privacy while you are there. The huge bed was pretty awesome and the bathroom and toilet are pretty clean. Definitely would recommend Rik's place to anyone who is visiting Brussels!
