Highly recommend staying somewhere else if you’re looking for accessible laundry. The apartment is on a dirty and unsafe street, and you can hear rats in the walls. I checked in for less than an hour then complained and was asked to leave immediately at 1:30AM. Awful experience, highly recommend that people go to MEININGER Hotel instead, a hostel bed is more accommodating. Genuinely don’t know how this place had great reviews.

Place was fine. We didn’t see laundry which was listed as an amenity but also we didn’t ask about it so maybe it was just not in the unit! Easy to the tram and city center. Not that stoked over the mystery stain that was on the mattress topper… we pulled the comforter down and the topper flipped up a bit at the same time and we saw it. At least it was not enough mystery fluid to be a fatality. Would stay again sans topper issue!

A Home Away From Home

We had a fantastic stay in the heart of Brussels.
The owners are incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. Our apartment was spacious, with a huge bathroom, and the common dining area was perfect for catching up with friends. The location is ideal for exploring the city, and while street parking is available, be aware that it’s paid during the night. Thank you very much, Johan and Ria!

The staff were friendly and explained what I needed to know.
The instructions for check-in were confusing however, because I thought I had to call before arriving. Turns out that I just needed to go specified address and contact Johan to go through the check-in process.
The shower was a little lukewarm, but wasn't too much of a problem after turning up the room and bathroom radiators.

Also be ready to pay 10EUR per night tax (Belgium thing), as well as a 100EUR deposit (which will be returned during check-out and inspection).

Nearest transport is the 82 Tram line (stop is Van Zande), and to get to Brussels centre you can stop at west station or Brussels Midi (south) and change to the metro lines. You can find the pdf map files on the STIB-MIVB website (if you used the London underground maps before, shouldn't be too difficult). Also, you can the MoBIB card (like the London Oyster card) from the ticket machines themselves which is something that took me a few days to figure out (5EUR fee for new card).

Thanks to J and R!

Extremely friendly reception by the owners (even if I was late, after 22.00!!). A fun \"jumping back into the 70ies\" feeling. BIG premises, fast internet and all at completely unbeatable price. PArk in front and leave your car there, tram is literally around the corner. J and R own a butchery in front of the street, go and get your meat and sandwiches there!! (the Martino is heavenly!). Highly recommendably when coming with friends or family (theoretically, my apartment could sleep 4 in heavenly beds!)

Nice modern apartment for visiting the city

The apartment and kitchen were both clean and inviting. Johan offered some posters about the location and a map as well as helpful directions. A fantastic position for visiting the city. The tram ride into town was swift and easy ( line 82).
They also had modern TV, with many programs.
Nice pizzeria nearby, along with small supermarket (open on sundays) and a butchery.

Johan was really friendly and helpful getting us checked in and providing us with information, maps and leaflets. Gave use some real practical advise. Thankyou!

Apartment was well-presented and quirky. Kitchen was clean and well-equipped (although I would have liked a mug for my morning cuppa tea!).

Beds were clean and comfortable. Bathroom was spacious and clean.

Great location for exploring the city. Tram stops outside the apartment and takes 30 minutes (tram then metro) to get to Grande Place.

Parking arranged by Johan for €15 per day, otherwise street parking would have been expensive.

Nice pizzeria nearby, along with supermarket, bakery and night shop.

Would definitely return.

The hosts were very nice and accommodating. However we were slightly surprised by a couple of elements. The first was the 10 euros/night city tax that only came to our attention after we paid. The second element was the separate bathrooms that required a key to enter as opposed to being ensuite. In future, it would be good if these points were more overt.

The room was gorgeous and modern. The only strange thing was that the bathroom in my room illuminated when someone turned on the light in the adjacent bathroom. It happened about midnight and woke me up. Otherwise, this apartment was amazing. Perfect location, walkable to restaurants and public transit. Will certainly recommend and stay here again.

The check in and out process was very awful and unorganized. Nice room. No elevator so carried our luggage up two flights of a narrow elevator. Also far from the center. We had to wait for the son to arrive to check in and couldn’t even leave luggage to hold. The mother checked us out ...we had to take keys to their butcher shop across the street. It was a bit strange. It also was a long and peculiar checkout process. I must say the room was fitting Outside of not even a bottle of free water

Good location and modern interior, excellent hosts

Great location with transit nearby. Interior is new and contemporary. Couldn't figure out how to turn on the lights in the staircase when going down, but there are colourful LEDs that show the way. The washroom is huge and well stocked. Shared kitchen downstairs with a small backyard. Could do with one less chair in the room so we could move around easier. The only complaint is the bed. Two people sleeping on it makes them both sink to the middle. It's a very soft bed, but a bit too soft. Hosts were excellent and very helpful.

Beautiful apartment with a full kitchen and laundry. Although you do have to share the kitchen and laundry facilities with a few others staying in other rooms, it was very convienent. Other than the grocery store and bakery a 2 minute walk away, the area was quite barren. Luckily the tram stops directly in front of the building so it was accessible.

Struttura spaziosa, molto carina, moderna e pulita. C’è tutto ciò che serve. Letti comodissimi. Anche collegata bene con tram e metro. In massimo 15 minuti raggiungi tutte le zone centrali. Personale gentilissimo, ci hanno consentito anche di lasciare i bagagli nel palazzo dopo il check out. Unica piccola pecca qualche rumorino al mattino a causa del negozio sottostante. Per il resto tutto perfetto.

임대아파트였는데 가족분들은 톡 문의에 친근하게 답변해줬지만, 그밖의 모든것이 불편했습니다. 방 내부에 에어컨도 거울도 샤워커튼도 없어서 위약금 내고 다른 호텔을 찾아야 하나 정말 많이 고민했습니다. 타월에서는 담배 냄새가 났고 냉방이 전혀 안되는 방인데 창문이 밖이 훤히 보여서 창문을 열고 환기를 하긴 어려웠고요 방 안에 다양한 가구들이 들어있어서 약간 창고 느낌 나고 이불이 폭신폭신 해서 안그래도 더운데 더 더워요. 샤워 후에는 방까지 바닥에 물까지 쓸어내야 했고요. 여름에 이 호텔을 간다면 정말로 추천하고 싶지 않아요

We stayed here two days. Family of five. The standard was low and the beds were not that comfortable. Usually we stay at hotel hotels so we don’t have any thing to compare against. Maybe it’s good for an apartment so we don’t know. Personally, the family like their big apartment, but like lots of stuff where not in a good condition.

We got three fans which was nice but I prefer an AC.

入口が分からなくてそれらしきもののインターホンを押しても何も返答なし。そのままウロウロしていたら係の人がどこからか出てきた。部屋で施設の説明を受ける。チェックアウト時に誰にどこにコンタクトしたらいいかを聞くのを失礼した為、メールにて問い合わせても返答なし。そのままベッドに鍵を置いて出てきたが、良かったのだろうか。デボジットで100€カードの登録をさせられたが、それのアンブロックがされているのかのメールの返答も一切ない。今の所引き落としされてないので大丈夫だと思うが、ちゃんとしたフロントのあるホテルをこれからは選びたい
