Joanna's place is lovely. It's situated in a quiet neighbourhood just a little outside the city centre, and easily accessible with public transportation. There was road works going on during our stay so the straight bus to the city had to be detoured but the Horta MRT train station was nearby and connected us everywhere in the city.
The apartment is clean. She has a great kitchen so we managed to cook ourselves a decent breakfast one morning. There's also a coffee maker that was put to good use during our stay.
The best thing about the place is the patio and opens up the house so it's breezy and cooling. We had dinner out there and enjoyed a couple of beers just enjoying the weather. Definitely something you must do if you're planning to stay here.
Joanna as a host is wonderful. She took the time to show us around the house and left a few guides and food options nearby.
Speaking about food, we love the pizza place, Da Momo, that's a 5-7 minute walk. There's also Moeder Lambic that's one of the good bars to check out and is also a 5-7 minutes walk. This bar has another outlet in the city centre but if you're staying in Joanna's apartment you can walk over to the original Moeder Lambic and get home in no time.
