Lovely stay at Mariano's place. Very clean appartment and had everything we needed - even some breakfast stuff which is a nice touch. Lidl was also just around the corner which was ace. Very close to the centre of Brussels - a 25 minute walk at most with very close public transport. Host was quick to respond and provided local maps and tips.
Quite cheap and cheerful as most ammenities were quite inexpensive (which is fair enough really!) Location was within 10 minuites of Botanique subway but there was a lot of roadworks going on directly outside the house - which while no-one can control it would have been nice to have been warned about. A bit confused about who was running the appartment as I got two different people messaging me the same questions which was strange! Overall - felt more like a hotel room than someones house but a nice place and would recommend.
