Anne's apartment is in St. Giles, which is a pleasant neighborhood just outside of central Brussels. Staying here gives one an idea of where and how regular Bruxellois live. Many of the buildings in St. Giles have unique art-nouveau touches, which gives the place a slightly artistic flair. Though it is outside of central Brussels, all the main tourist sites are a mere 20 minute walk away. Anne's apartment is bright and airy. She and her husband are friendly and helpful, and have a lot of knowledge about the Brussels area and are able to offer advice, suggestions, and directions for your visit. Anne is an artist and her home is decorated with her paintings. The room is comfortable, as are the rest of the shared public spaces. I highly recommend Anne's place and would consider staying again.
