Apartment Home Frit Home Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Apartment Home Frit Home on Rue des Alliés, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the name — but this four-star property in Brussels completely surprised me. The building has this understated elegance that feels more like a boutique residence than a typical hotel, and you know what? That’s exactly the vibe they’re going for. The staff responded to my pre-arrival questions within hours, which already set a good tone before I even stepped foot inside.

The Apartment Experience

Here’s where things get interesting — each apartment feels like you’re staying in someone’s well-appointed home rather than a standard hotel room. The space I had was genuinely spacious, with a proper kitchen that actually had everything I needed (not just a mini-fridge and kettle like some places). I mean, I could have cooked a full dinner if I wanted to, though honestly, with Brussels’ incredible food scene right outside, why would you? The living area flows naturally into the bedroom, and there’s enough storage that you can actually unpack and settle in for a few days.

Location & Neighborhood

Forest — or Vorst if you’re speaking Dutch — isn’t the touristy center of Brussels, but that’s actually what makes it special. You’re about 15 minutes by tram from the Grand Place, but you get to experience how locals actually live. There’s a great morning market just a few streets over on Thursdays, and the neighborhood has this relaxed, residential feel that I really appreciated after busy days of sightseeing. Plus, having free parking right on site is honestly a game-changer if you’re driving — try finding that in central Brussels for under €30 a day.

Practical Comforts

The little details here really add up. The Wi-Fi actually works well (I was working remotely for part of my stay), and the apartment stays surprisingly quiet despite being on a fairly busy street. The bathroom has this modern, clean design with a proper shower that doesn’t flood the entire floor — you’d be amazed how rare that is in some European accommodations. I also loved that there’s a small balcony where you can have your morning coffee and watch the neighborhood wake up.

Why Guests Love It

After staying here, I totally get why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something romantic about having your own little Brussels pied-à-terre, complete with a kitchen for lazy morning breakfasts and space to actually relax together. The 9.7 rating isn’t just hype; it’s because places like this give you the independence of an apartment with the reliability and service of a good hotel. Whether you’re here for a long weekend or using Brussels as a base to explore Belgium, this spot just works in a way that feels effortless.

    Every thing was perfect , I like the bathroom was very big , the owner was very friendly and provided us with all requirements l would like to come back

    What could be improved: The parking was too small and not inside the property So we used the parking in the streets with extra fees also the hall of the apartment was museum and you should be careful with kids

  • Michael from Netherlands – 5 April 2025 (10/10)

    Everything was well prepared and the owner was really helpful during my stay.

  • Mark from United Kingdom – 3 January 2025 (10/10)

    Large property with just about everything provided.
    Really clean and comfy.
    Host was really good who took time to help you settle in and also set up a Christmas tree which was really cool
    Shops only around corner and would recommend Proxy rather than go Lidl.
    Nice park to stroll around and the train station Midi is only 15-20 minute walk.
    Thank you Hughes

    What could be improved: The tv hardly had any English channels.
    There was a strange smell which we think is cat wee. We could smell now and again.
    But only small details and nothing that took away the great time we had
