So, while the room is not completely independent from the rest of the house, it really feels like it is because Erik is living upstairs. What you see in the photos is what you get + a hallway bookshelf full of books. Me and my girlfriend were really satisfied.
The neighborhood is allright, not the most turist-y but nevertheless close to the metro, tram,train and the city center + close to some cool places to eat, drink or shop.
You can bet Erik will tell you everything you need to know about the city, after he expclaimed everything remotely usefull to us,he gave us the guide with everything marked on the map. That came really handy. He even took us on a walk to show us some things nearby. Erik did everything to make our stay better. He really is a lovely host, friendly and generous. One night he invited us to his birthday barbeque and we met his friends, we had a few drinks and chatted, long story short, he became our favorite host, and since we were in Brussels for only 2 days technically, we feel like we left stones unturned and we will hopefully be coming back in the future to stay at Erik's with all certainty!
Thanks for everything Erik, you're the man.
