This was one of the worst travel experiences I have ever had. Unfortunately, Belgium as well as the rest of Europe was experiencing a heat wave and the place gets no air circulation. In addition, the only shower in the place clogs and leaks onto the floor, so much so that there was water dripping down to the kitchen 1 level below. The biggest issue we ran into and would cause me to strongly recommend no one to stay here was BED BUGS and how the host dealt with the situation! The fact that there were bed bugs was bad enough; however, the host was fully aware of the presense of bed bugs and knew we were coming with a small child, yet did not contact us to give the option of cancelling. That was appalling. I appreciated that host attempted to have pest control take care of the situation (supposedly pest control was there the day before we arrived), but a simple Google search reveals that it takes multiple exterminations over a period of time to eradicate bed bugs. Once we learned about the issue, we immediately packed our bags and moved to a hotel. Now we have to deal the pain of the bug bites, cost of throwing out all of our luggage and the dread of having bed bugs follow to our home (which will not be easy or cheap to get rid of god forbid we were not able to rid ourselves). I really hope this place is not rented to anyone after us. Fortunately we were provided a full refund and Airbnb was accomodating by paying some of our hotel cost as well as any cleaning expense. But still does not make the experience any better which came close to ruining an otherwise enjoyable vacation.
Otherwise, location was 10 min walk to city center in what felt like a dodgy area. The unit was 3 levels with the kitchen and toliet on level 1, living area and shower on level 2 and bed and toilet on level 3. Level 1 and 2 were connected by a poorly put together staircase (simple lumber and not floor grade material was unused and felt very unsafe). To access level 3, there are very steep and narrow stairs. The furniture was nice enough, what I would expect. The windows on the middle floor were quite large, which was nice, but opened directly onto someone else's balcony (lacked privacy and felt rather unsafe). The bedroom had a slanted ceiling with beams and being over 6-foot I could not really stand up. Besides the obvious pest issue, would not stay here with any children given the poor stairs.
