Beautiful apartment (looks EXACTLY as pictured/described) and lovely host! Mariano was waiting at the apartment to welcome my friends and me when we arrived, and even sat down with us to provide a very thorough walk through of places to visit in the city, marking them all up on a map and explaining how to get to each place.
The apartment itself is lovely - receives a ton of natural light, comfortable bed, clean bathroom, and very modern kitchen. Mariano also provided us with breakfast items (tea, cereal, milk, etc.) which we enjoyed every morning we were there.
Walking distance from metro station and also from Gare du Nord (which is where our Megabus from Amsterdam dropped us off), which is convenient, and easy to get into the central city. If I ever go back to Brussels, I'd love to stay here again. Was by far our prettiest/cosiest home while travelling in Europe!
