Great location and that’s why it’s such a good value. Close to the Pis, tons of restaurants just downstairs, although I recommend you head out a few blocks. (Yelp is very useful-probably need to make reservations a day or 2 before for dinners). Fresh waffles within a minute walk. Lots of shopping within a few blocks, plus the grand Place is just up the way.
De Brouckére is the closest station although the walk from Bruxelles Central is easy with more connections. There are lots of cobblestones everywhere and it’s an American 5th floor walk up so bring comfy shoes.
Some issues with cleanliness. Overall, very tidy, but as we have found is not uncommon in Europe, some linens were not fresh/smelled of mildew. Only some windows functional. Shower must not have a trap so the bathroom always smells of sewage unless someone just took a shower. The shower had multiple heads (rain, handheld wand, wall blasters) and plenty of hot water, but took some figuring out.
The main bedroom is attached to the only bathroom which we were not aware of through the listing. Best to put the deepest sleeper in there as they have to be disturbed each time the bathroom needs to be used.
Large fridge and coffee machine/kettle plus microwave made it easy to what you needed to. The coffee provided is delicious. Cream and sugar also provided with some glasses, mugs, a bowl. Lots of supermarkets close by for simple meals. They have carry out (takeaway) and utensil sets for free by the doors.
Laundry available but the dryer takes very long (also seems to be a typical Europe thing). This could be operator error, but is easily rectified if traveling with poly blends. Leave your cotton clothing at home.
Cozy beds but no top sheet as is typical in Europe. Absolutely worth a stay for the price. It can’t be beat for the location. The family owns the restaurant downstairs and is willing to hold luggage there. A bit noisy at night as the area is busy and lots of bars, but not as much as I expected. Very responsive to questions/messages. Allowed us to stay an extra day when plans changed and the space was available.
