Perfect location and the view does not disappoint. Great for a day or two for backpacking but not optimal otherwise.

The $300 deposit they throw at you the night before check in is sketchy but you’re locked in so I did it but they confirmed they returned it. Through some weird third party site and they won’t give you any info if you don’t do it. Shouldn’t be allowed through Airbnb.
That being said the pull out sofa has a pretty thin mattress that gets really uncomfortable if your stay is long, lots of stairways to get in and out which is great if you pack light and aren’t walking around all day. 5 different flights up and two down.
There is a fan provided that works perfect to keep the noise outside at bay. They also provide earplugs.
If you are traveling alone it would be a little off putting because your kitchen and bathroom are down a shared hall with an unused cafeteria and lobby area on the bottom two floors. You have to take the key and lock and unlock doors in the hallway with open stairways to the front and side of your bedroom door. Well lite but you wonder how often the main door code is changed being that it accesses the space you are staying and the two other Airbnb listings above you. Hallways are well lit but only when you are walking through them and everything else around you is dark.
Both the bedroom and bathroom don’t have great space counter space or storage space so for big suitcases it just gets awkward. I traveled with a friend and she took the closet while I pushed the large for the space table to the corner to prop my bag on.
Didn’t use the kitchen but had all the things you would need although its tight just like the rest of the place.
As I said before great if you are traveling light and trying to be close to the a lot of the main attractions. If I was staying longer and didn’t care for the view I would have stayed at hotel Amigo just behind Grand Place.
We had a great stay but I like to give honest reviews.
