Bernard is a wonderful host. Has lived in the city for a long time so is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Brussels. Do ask him for suggestions. He has great tips and even walked us around the neighborhood to show us some cool spots. The apartment is really nice! Very craftily decorated and the washer/dryer is a definite plus. The location is just perfect. It is right between the upper and lower parts of town so most things are within a 10-15 min walk.
