We had a few day stopover in Belgium and stayed in Axelle's apartment. Not knowing much about Brussels, I kept my fingers crossed about the location. The location was great- a fun neighborhood with a cafe/ bar right there and another wonderful coffee shop right across the street (Moki). From the apartment, it's about a 15 or 20 minute walk to the Grand Place and other sights in that part of town. We took an Uber in from the airport and it's about a 30 minute drive. The apartment itself is just like the pictures; a really nice and stylish open space for hanging out and two bedrooms. We were there for a short tine so didn't really use the kitchen but it seemed to have all the basics. Grocery store is about a 10 minute walk away. The neighborhood is lively so people are out late at night, but the windows did a surprisingly good job at keeping the noise out. We didn't have a chance to meet Axelle, but she responded to our questions and offered suggestions about restaurants, etc. This was our first trip to Brussels and we were impressed by the city and by the friendliness of the people there. Thanks, Axelle!
