You MUST visit this area (St Gilles) is when in Brussels. It’s FULL of hidden gems. Lara and David’s place was BEAUTIFUL. I was so happy stepping in: super stylish, really big, and a huge comfy bed with balcony. The kitchen is really well equipped and Lara even brought me things that weren’t provided in the apartment when I asked (including a yoga mat!!).
You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay here - it’s also very accessibly to the city centre via tram and metro. The tram stops right out front - other reviews have mentioned the noise, I didn’t notice it with the front double glazed windows closed AT ALL.
I really hope to visit again.
