The entire building is a charming couple and they have rented the top floor with: 3 beds, a large sofa, TV, microwave, coffee maker, hairdryer....the apt. It is very complete and welcoming. From the center it is 15 minutes by tram. They worry that we will not lack for anything. There are shops and restaurants around to shop.
The best thing was the comfort of the accommodation and the kindness of Benoit and Patricia who were always on the lookout in case we needed anything. The apartment is as it appears in the photos and we had coffee, water, Cocacola and delicious fruit upon arrival.
The house is easy to find at the neighborhood level. Also, not far from Gare du Nord and Palais 12. Very nice if you are planning a concert :)
Nothing to say. Our stay was short (1 night).
just like photos; comfortable and clean

This is a mini-apartment in the house. It is enough for your stay and very comfortable.
Fridge is very small for groups +3. It does not have a kitchen, only a micro. I could clean the cupboards and put in some stoves. We didn't fit in 6 to eat and we had to sit on the ground, there were no chairs. Some cleaning was missing (dust, dirty dishes...) Had to wash dishes in the bathroom... No cleaning supplies (broom, esparto, dustpan...) TV not working. It's 45' from the center, passing through dangerous neighborhoods. The railings are very loose.
Spaciousness, friendliness of the owner
Far from the city center
Good location, close to public transport, nice and helpful owner, clean
Flaw
A wonderful owner who was always helpful and gave good advice, thanks to which we were able to visit quite a large piece of the country in a short time 😊 the room is also very cozy, perfect for a group of friends (fully equipped)
The location is not the worst, although the district can be scary in the evenings. In addition, hot water in the shower is a roulette (we hope it's only a temporary inconvenience)
Excellent reception. Our hosts are very friendly. Chocolate and drinks are provided upon arrival. Cozy apartment Very nice to manage the parking of our car which costs 5 euros per day. Brussels city center can be quickly reached by tram
Completely complete apartment.
The apartment lived up to our expectations, but we did not like that the owner (very nice) invited friends to the house on the first night and they were with music to a very large extent. To improve, I would have liked having a kitchen in the apartment.
The decoration is superb, the apartment is spacious and close to the train station and the center (20 min walk), very well equipped with little touches! I recommend
Privacy, hospitality of the owner, good location and excellent cleanliness of our stay

We had a great time. A very warm and friendly welcome in a very pleasant accommodation. We highly recommend this address.
There is nothing to report.
Welcome home feeling

The comfort and kindness of the hosts
The area is not entirely exotic from home.
We were very well received. we were able to enjoy the beautiful garden.
The kindness of Benoit and Patricia. An apartment upstairs of your house is a very comfortable and clean independent place. The whole house is a gem. A very nice stay. It has close to all vehicles and supermarkets and more. Good message
It is difficult to find on-street parking next to the residential area.
Empathy, extraordinary home, right in the center, I advise
The house itself, how well equipped it was, the hosts were very nice and helped you with any need.
Cleaning the kitchen in terms of dishes
Kindness of the owners, warm welcome, location, house of a certain age but gorgeous, I recommend this place
Not much ... just sockets that need to be tidied up, because wires were sticking out of the walls, which can be dangerous for any living creature, and a somewhat "wobbly wooden mezzanine fence".
Excellent value for money, very good geographical location next to the tram stop. The owners have great advice and are very friendly.
A small refrigerator in the studio comes in handy
The kindness and friendliness of the owner and a very spacious and special apartment.
The studio is very spacious, designed for 6 people, the owner of the apartment was very hospitable. I recommend this site 100 percent.
Freedom and opportunities that you can enjoy, such as barbecuing in the garden. No problem with the hosts. Quiet top floor for yourself.
The kitchen could be a little cleaner, clean towels, tea towels, tea towel, etc. And it should be clarified that there are cats in the house that can also come to the guest house.
Our room turned out to be larger than we expected - two rooms + the upper tier of one of the rooms. Just in case: the kitchen and the hall with the fireplace are common areas, you can be in the kitchen either until 10 am or from 5 to 8 pm (as it is written in the instructions for accommodation, which was in our room). That is, you can cook breakfast, but if you return from a walk later than 8 pm, then it is better to think in advance in which restaurants around you can eat.
Good number. The hosts live on the ground floor. Number on the third. Large and spacious. The owners do not bother. The use of the smithy is allowed.
There are no good cafes in the area. The area will be almost completely populated by residents of the east. Accordingly, the cafes are focused on Turkish and Arabic cuisine.
Lovely welcome from our hosts, Benoit and Patricia. The second floor where we stayed was spacious (there were 4 adults and 2 children) with 3 double beds, a small living room, bathroom and toilet. We could use the kitchen downstairs to prepare food and meals. The tram is 100 meters away, allowing you to reach the city center in 10 minutes. Benoit and Patricia will take care of providing parking tickets to pay only € 5 per day instead of € 25 on the parking meter. Keep doing this and thanks again!
It is difficult to find a place on the street near the house, but although we had 2 cars, we were able to find places on the next street (rue Portaels).
Friendly and very welcoming hosts
Excellent service Very friendly and nice hotel
Lots of stairs. Something complicated from suitcases
Price, beds were good, clean and comfortable. Luck! Found a parking space right in front of the door. Also free of charge due to holidays (Easter). beautiful boredom. We had 3x 2 person descriptions for 6 people, enough space.
The location seemed close to the airport, but there are still many delays due to the busy morning rush hour. Wine glasses, plates and cutlery must be taken from your own kitchen. Tip: Make a mini kitchen unit. And fix the balustrade. The stairs to the attic are pretty interesting now. The light could be more comfortable.
Treatment, the area is very well connected and everyone is very friendly
The house is very big, but it was not looked after at all, a lot of things are broken and dirty, when we entered the house, it smelled terrible, they have 3 black cats, according to the photo, you must assume that they are in the house, which we did not know, we had to feeding him and collecting his excrement, as every day we came to the house, it smelled awful. The mattresses are not very comfortable. The house is big, and for the first few days there was not enough heating until we found out how it went up. We were greeted by a neighbor we had to look for and he only gave us the keys and ignored it. On the last day, the owners came, began to knock on the door, we opened them and they began to look at everything in detail and as on their shoulders, when the house was cleaner than we found it, since there were several broken things in the kitchen and very dirty like kitchen utensils. What offended us the most was that when we correctly told the owners about what happened to us, they responded unpleasantly to us and in the end insulted us, saying that he left us his house, and we must take care of him, but this the service we paid for, we did not understand either his reaction or his appeal, because at least we expected an apology or excuse for which we received only insults and bad manners. We do not recommend anyone stay here, as not only after we encountered this series of things when he informed the owner about it, he insulted us and shot us in bad ways, so neither welcome nor goodbye, we have all traveled a lot and they never accepted or treated us that way, much less checking the house like we did something to him when we were supposed to clean up and take care of his cats, as we believe that when you are traveling you want to have fun and are not responsible. As far as food is concerned, there was still a refrigerator full of food, most of it rotten that we had to throw away and half clean from other people who were already in the house.
Nice apartment, well heated in winter and access to a kitchen and refrigerator. Very friendly host. Lots of documentation for visiting Brussels.
For people who have problems with stairs, there are 2 floors to climb. This was not a problem for me
The house was nice. The owners are very kind, friendly, friendly, with three cats. The area was full of Muslim immigrants. With the stores they run. Ovens and pastry shops with a wide variety of sweets typical of their culture. On the first day of the year, we believed that everything would be closed, and the surprise was that everything was open. He assumed purchases were cheaper if you wanted to save some money.
The location is far away and transport leaves you 8 minutes on foot. Due to my ignorance, I did not know that the house was being shared with the owners. Our room plus living room plus attic were on the third floor. The second slept the owners. But even though we didn't know it, we didn't care, my kids loved the attic, and if there was any mistake, it was that they were smoking inside and talking loudly. Some cleaning is missing.
Our hosts gave us a warm welcome. The house combines old and modern with great taste. We had a great weekend in Brussels with my family.
It is not easy to park in the vicinity.
It is a different experience when you stay in someone's house and they live in that house. To make us feel comfortable, a place was reserved in the house, and we could use the laundry, kitchen and TV room. Although we didn't use anything, it was in stock. It was interesting to talk to the owner who lives in the house, with his 03 cats (I love cats, but for those who suffer from allergies, I recommend not to stay). There was a coffee maker and kettle for boiling water, as well as its own TV.
The available space was old with old carpet and looked grubby when it wasn't. However, there was dust on the old bookshelves and the books he keeps as decoration. There was dust in the place where the coffee maker and kettle were. The dishes in the kitchen were poorly cleaned. We could have used the refrigerator, but it was full of food leftovers that we prefer not to use (as I said, the couple live in the house, so everyone has their own habits and hygiene). The bedroom door could not be locked, and the reserved space, despite the fact that two couples lived in it, did not allow for privacy. In other words, if you are traveling with relatives, it does not bother, but if they are friends, you need to organize how to go to the bathroom, change clothes, because it is impossible to isolate each other. And to go to the bathroom, you need to go down a very steep staircase and go to the bedroom of another couple. In other words, if you like to pee at night, it will interfere with the other couple. To be honest, it was an experience that I didn't really like. I value my comfort and privacy more. But for those who love hostels, this might be a great idea.
This guest house is very well located. It belongs to a very good couple. Good quality price.
Everything. The owner was very kind and sociable, and the fact that the guest house is actually located on the 3rd floor of a residential building does not cause any discomfort
The location was good, next to the tram stop.
On booking.com it is NOT obvious that you are sharing the whole house with the owners and three cats! We had a bedroom with a bathroom. But nowhere is it said that you need to divide the terrace and the living room. Very little is said about the "common kitchen". Patricia was there all weekend and you really didn't feel free. Also, three cats were jumping all over the place, even when we ate, they jumped on the table. Really disgusting! It was quite dirty everywhere, especially the kitchen was totally shaken and cat hair was plentiful. The highlight was that here on the website a parking ticket is offered for 5 euros per day. We specifically indicated in a personal message that we would like to take advantage of this. When we arrived, Patricia came out, asking several times that there was no ticket. So I had to take a regular parking ticket for 25 (!) Euro per day. There was no excuse, Patricia even claimed it wasn't much more expensive than using her parking ticket. In general, we feel cheated. The presentation here on the site is completely different. The photographs suggest accommodation only for you - on the spot in the house there is another floor between your own room and the kitchen-living room, where residents sleep.
The owners of the apartment allowed easy access to the whole house during most of the day Using the washer and dryer was very helpful
This is an apartment that is also advertised on airbnb. The apartment owners share a common space and host. The unit offered for use is located on the third floor inside the apartment. The apartment is a bit old and it is obvious that it needs to undergo several repairs. There are restrictions on using the shared kitchen and not everything is clean and polished In addition, it should be recognized that the apartment is located in a Muslim quarter and creates an unpleasant atmosphere to move around freely
