Good cheap place south of Brussels downtown.
This was one of three rooms rented out at the top of Nicholas' house (third story). He was always around, lives there, and answered messages quickly.
It's maybe a twenty minute walk to the EU area, and Ixelles, and a bit more to the downtown area. You can catch a bus right out the door.
Fortunately, the other people staying there were fairly quiet, until my last night or two, and even then it wasn't bad. This room looks out on the street, but it's a relatively quiet neighborhood.
Not much to do right in this area, though there's a nice pizza place on the corner. But overall pretty quiet and I felt comfortable and safe.
There's a shared bathroom. I never even saw the other people, we were all on different schedules.
I liked that there was a tea kettle right in the room. And a fridge. No kitchen.
I'd stay here again.
