This apartment had many positives, and some negatives.
I want to be objective so that other travelers have information that would've been helpful to me.
Positives:
1. The photos are accurate.
2. The value is great - great price.
3. The location is great - right next to Grand Place.
4. The apartment was very clean
Negatives:
1. The description says pick up the keys from "the doorman". That creates a certain impression with the reader. There isn't actually a doorman. I had to pick up the keys at the convenience store around the corner and the keys were challenging to figure out.
2. The street that the apartment is on is undergoing massive construction. No street. No sidewalks. This meant the car couldn't drop me off at the apartment. It meant ever trip in and out of the apartment I had to hop over barriers. And getting my suitcase in and out was a nightmare. I wouldn't have booked this place if I knew that.
3. Because of the construction, it was loud - with bulldozers and construction vehicles starting at 730am.
4. It's a 3 flight walk up. That's fine - if it's disclosed.
5. I had difficulty with the apartment amenities - like heating. The house manual had a few hand written pages, but most pages, including heating, were blank.
It's a fine apartment that, under the right circumstances, would be great. But these were clearly not the right circumstances and I wish I had known these things in advance.
