“Great stay, great location, perfect for Christmas markets.”
Amazing location near all the Christmas markets. Be sure to have a beer in Halles de St-Géry opposite, which was a delight. Given how crowded the area is, the apartment is astonishingly quiet – indeed, in the bedroom there was really no outside noise at all. Extra shout out for the coffee machine, which evening included decaf – not for everyone, I know, but I was very grateful. Antonio was extremely helpful, and the whole stay was wonderful.

“Excellent choice. 10/10 for us.”
Excellent apartment in great location. Very well equipped, very comfortable home away from home. 400 metres to The Great Place right in the middle of restaurants and everything you need. 200 metres to metro station. Busy bustling area but unit whisper quiet. Wonderful host communicative and available. Nothing left unthought of here. Definitely made our Brussels visit very pleasurable. We’ve been travelling Europe in self contained accomodations. This is absolutely the best we’ve experienced.

“Outstanding - well worth considering”
This excellent apartment is perfectly located in the city centre & is very close to all sites, landmarks & attractions. The apartment is very comfortable and contains everything you could possibly expect and more, including additional provisions and supplies provided by the exceptional & thoughtful host, Antonio. The communication with host Antonio commencing well prior to our stay and continuing right up to our departure was very much appreciated. This was one of the best accommodation experiences we have had across numerous locations in Europe over the years, so would highly recommend this for consideration. Thank you Antonio!

“Best place I ever stayed at”
The place is like 1 minute to the Bourse and 3 minutes from the Grand Place. The apartment is great, very clean and equipped with absolutely everything you might need. I will just name a few things that caught my eye (other than the usual things you find at any place): new charger cables, UK/EU socket adapter, free Netflix, multiple types of coffee, tea, condensed milk, sugar, honey, water filter, multiple types of shampoo, shower gels and everything you need for the bathroom, fluffy pillows, hard pillows, no need for a key, just passcode, and those skylights, just awesome!

“Wonderful”
The location is very central and close to everything. The host is amazing, easy to reach and very accommodating. The apartment is very clean and has a lot of extra goodies such as products in the bathroom and little nibbles in the kitchen. Ideal place for a weekend away in Brussels. Highly recommended.

“Guys and girls, if you see this place is available and if it is in your budget range, book it immediately! It is a super”
The apartment is just fantastic. It is in the heart of everything, just right in the city center. The architecture and design of the room are just modern but super cosy. The bed is super comfy. Kitchen is fully equipped, trust me you basically can find everything for your pleasant stay. The host is the best host I have ever had in my travel journeys ( to more than 50 countries already). He was so caring even in the smallest details. I had a wonderful stay. I even feel sad when I need to leave because it was just so perfect for my stay in Brussels. If I can give 100 points, I would definitely would.

I absolutely loved my stay at this apartment in the heart of Brussels. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything I needed — a fully functional kitchen, washing machine, fast Wi-Fi, and even complimentary coffee and snacks. The location could not be better: just a few minutes’ walk from the Grand Place, with restaurants, shops, and attractions all around. Despite being in a lively area, the apartment is surprisingly quiet once the windows are closed, so I had no trouble sleeping. The host, Antonio, was extremely friendly and professional, providing clear instructions for check-in and always available to answer questions. In short, this apartment exceeded my expectations in every way. It’s the perfect base to explore Brussels, and I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation. A true 10/10 stay!
