Great location!
The apartment is spacious and the bed was comfy. Check-in instructions were farily clear. Be advised there are steep staircases in the apartment, so it's a bit difficult with luggage. The bathroom and shower are separate. Bring your own washclothes, if you use them. The kitchen was well outfitted. Great neighborhood, and while the crowds outside can be rowdy at night, you don't hear them from the apartment because its in the back of the building.

Great Location; Neglected Property
Truly wonderful location. Lots of nightlife, restaurants, etc. all around without being in the immediate touristy center.
But, a few comments about the apartment:
- insufficient toilet paper
- not well cleaned
- furniture is sparse and worn out
- two staircases are very steep (not good for little kids or the elderly)
- decorations on the wall were minimal and sad
Essentially, with some sprucing up, this would be a very nice place. It was all just a bit tired.
The top floor room is truly large. If you have a big group, I can see this being a nice gathering spot at the end of the day.

Brussels Duplex
The place was very clean, was spacious for 4 adults and near to everything we wanted to visit. Overall it was an enjoyable stay and if ever we return to Brussels we would not hesitate to rebook. In addition, the property manager was very prompt in providing information and the information provided was accurate.

Location Location! Perfect spot for a Brussels get away!!
This place is located right the middle of Brussels but yet you can still get to it by car. It was so convenient to stay there, we could reach everything by foot. A great place to be, we loved the long beds and linen - for us tall people we usually struggle! The place is very cosy and the separation between living area (top floor) and bed&bath rooms was well designed. We didn't mind the steep steps but I can see that for some it could be difficult to get up/down. Overall a great place, everything is functional and available, the owner is very responsive, the check-in was easy and well described. We'd go back if we were to go to Brussels again!

Great time In Brussels
Our apartment In Brussels was great. Clean, comfortable and perfectly located. The host was incredibly accommodating… allowing us to store our luggage after our twelve hour flight.
Restaurant next store was operated by a helpful and friendly owner serving solid low cost food.
Excellent apartment that immerses you in the local culture! Walking distance to Grand Place, Mannequin Pis, train station and much more. The Christmas Market starts a block away
Bd aware there are steep stairs just so you aren’t surprised.
Correspondence with Pierre were outstanding as our plans changed while en route

Happy travellers in Brussels
Great location. It’s close to the main square and many of the sites. The place is spacious and comfortable beds. The stairs are a bit tricky but manageable.
The host was responsive and addressed any concerns or questions.
We would stay here again

Family of 4 in November 22
We were a family of 4 - 2 adults and older teenage children. Fantastic location in an area filled with cafes, shops & restaurants. Incredibly close to everywhere either walking or via public transport.
Accomodation is warm and comfortable and the upstairs living area was perfect.
Highly recommended

Review for Dansaert
Nice location, but this is an old apartment that needs some modernizing.
Entrance is through a dark and musky hallway, which smells a bit of sewage.
The apartment has 2 set of stairs, but of which are narrow and tricky to navigate.
The shower was was a bit weird, it didn’t drain well and backed up while showering.
Overall, an okay stay, but not terribly comfortable.

Positiv sind die ruhige und doch zentrale Lage der Wohnung, der ansprechend gestaltete Wohnraum im Dachgeschoss, die Schlafräume die sich auch bei sommerlichen Temperaturen nicht so sehr aufheizen.Machen könnte man was an der Duschkabine, da hier nur heißes Wasser kam.Alles in allem, eine Wohnung in der wir uns wohlgefühlt haben.

Muy céntrico
La ubicación es inmejorable, muy céntrico, cerca del metro, bares restaurantes...El apartamento es correcto pero con muchos aspectos mejorables. Por ejemplo, la entrada desde la calle es por un pasillo estrecho, dejado, sucio y poco iluminado. En el apartamento, no hay enchufes cerca de las camas, el lavavajillas no funcionaba bien y tocó fregarlo todo a mano, en el cuartito del WC no había dónde colgar la toalla o el rollo de papel y la tapa de WC estaba rota y reparada con un clavo que asomaba.... El espacio del último piso es genial, amplio y agradable.
