We thoroughly enjoyed our first experience with airbnb thanks to Helene and Cedric. They are wonderful hosts who really make you feel welcome in one of the most typical neighborhoods of Brussels. They were very flexible in arranging times for check-in and check-out, which made us feel like being welcome by long-time friends. Their place is ideally located and really CHARMING. We found the apartment clean, functional, and decorated simply but with taste. From there, you walk to any part of central Brussels' "pentagon." The Sablon has a few bars and restaurants that do the trick if you don't want to walk a lot for breakfast or dinner (although you can do all that in the fully equipped kitchen… we're just lazy). We certainly recommend their place for anyone wanting a true immersion in the life of Brussels. Just one warning for those carrying heavy luggage and with a bad back: the place is located on the second floor (American definition), and the house being old, the stairs are steep and narrow...
