Attractive modern apartment Overview

Tucked away on 74 rue de Mérode, the Attractive modern apartment is a 4-star gem in the heart of Sint-Gillis/Saint-Gilles, Brussels. I’ve been to my fair share of hotels, but this place honestly stood out to me with its 8.4 rating and a vibe that’s hard to beat.

You know what, the moment I walked in, I was struck by the modern design that somehow managed to feel cozy at the same time. The location is spot on – just a stone’s throw from the bustling streets of Saint-Gilles, yet the apartment feels like a peaceful retreat. The neighborhood is filled with local gems, like the charming Chaussée de Ninove with its quaint cafes and boutiques. Honestly, it’s the kind of place where you can feel the pulse of Brussels without the overwhelming tourist crowds.

Now, let’s talk about the practical stuff. The check-in was a breeze, and the staff were friendly and helpful, giving me insider tips on where to find the best waffles in town. Parking wasn’t an issue, and the noise levels were surprisingly low for being in such a lively area. The apartment itself was well-equipped, with a kitchenette that had everything I needed to whip up a quick meal after a day of exploring.

You’ll find the apartment’s layout to be spacious and the decor, well, attractively modern. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, and I loved the large windows that let in an abundance of natural light. The only minor critique I have is that the Wi-Fi could be a bit spottier in the corners of the apartment, but it’s a small price to pay for such a fantastic stay.

In terms of timing, I’d say spring and early summer are the best times to visit. The weather is pleasant, and the city comes alive with outdoor markets and festivals. But honestly, no matter when you go, the Attractive modern apartment offers a unique blend of comfort, style, and location that makes it worth considering for your next trip to Brussels.

Reviews of Attractive modern apartment

  • Maria from United Kingdom – 27 December 2024 (9/10)

    Very close to Brussels Midi station.
    Clean property. Quiet

    What could be improved: Flight of stairs but not an issue.

  • Badal from United States – 8 July 2024 (9/10)

    The property had everything one would need for a short stay in town. Excellent location and completely upgraded unit. Enjoyed our stay in Nice.

    What could be improved: Even though the video for collecting the keys was detailed enough, having a mention in written that there will be tens of key boxes to choose the keys from and to try the one that exactly matches in the video would have been helpful. I ended up trying several locks before getting to the correct one. Also, a suggestion to have additional kitchen towels. There was one but having more would have benefited us.

  • Goh from Malaysia – 9 May 2024 (9/10)

    Easy to finf, very close to Brussels Midi/Zuid Station,. The property quite spaces and comfortable to stay.

  • Philippa from United Kingdom – 21 September 2023 (9/10)

    Central and convenient. As described. Appreciate that owner allowed late check in.

    What could be improved: Nothing

  • Gemma from United Kingdom – 1 September 2023 (7/10)

    Nice apartment, close to the station but the area isn't the nicest.

    What could be improved: The outside area was really run down and the Outlook is rather unpleasant view of the back of buildings.

  • Issa from Saudi Arabia – 16 August 2023 (7/10)

    Very well connected location

    What could be improved: Before booking this apartment I was told that I could leave my baggage in the apartment for a couple of hours after the check out as we had a late flight, but on that day I was told it wasn’t possible

  • Brighid from United States – 21 March 2023 (8/10)

    The spaciousness of the apartment and the proximity to the Midi train station.

  • Antonis from United Kingdom – 23 December 2022 (8/10)

    This is a spacious flat with all amenities less than 5 minute from Brussels Midi Station.
    It certainly is newly renovated inside plus all kitchen utilities to cook inside.
    Good comfy sleep as well. wifi/internet connection was stable, no issues.

    Lot's of shopping choices around and a nice 10-15mins walk to Grande Place.

    I'm happy that I found this place, and was actually very late booking due to eurostar train delays.
    Thank you!
