Bijna Wit, Nabij Trein, Metro n7688 Overview

First Impressions

Honestly, Bijna Wit, Nabij Trein, Metro n7688 isn’t going to win any awards for the catchiest name, but don’t let that fool you — this four-star gem in Brussels really delivers where it counts. The name basically translates to “Almost White, Near Train, Metro” which, well, tells you exactly what you’re getting: a clean, modern space that’s incredibly well-connected to the city’s transport network. I mean, sometimes the most straightforward approach works best, right?

Location & Getting Around

You know what really impressed me about this place? The location on Bergensesteenweg in Anderlecht is actually brilliant for couples who want to explore Brussels without dealing with tourist crowds right outside their door. The metro and train connections are so close you can practically roll out of bed and be in the city center within minutes. I noticed a lot of couples during my stay — turns out there’s good reason for that, since guests consistently rate it highly for romantic getaways. The neighborhood has this authentic Brussels feel that you just don’t get when you’re staying right in the tourist zone.

The Room Experience

The room itself lives up to that “almost white” promise — clean lines, plenty of natural light, and that minimalist aesthetic that actually feels calming rather than sterile. What struck me most was how thoughtfully everything was arranged; there’s clearly been attention paid to what travelers actually need rather than just cramming in fancy stuff for show. The space feels bigger than you’d expect, and honestly, after a day of wandering around Brussels’ cobblestone streets, you’ll appreciate having somewhere this peaceful to retreat to.

Practical Perks

Here’s where this place really shines — it’s those little things that make a difference when you’re traveling. The transport connections I mentioned aren’t just convenient, they’re game-changing if you want to explore beyond central Brussels or need to catch early flights. The whole setup feels designed by someone who actually travels and knows what matters. Plus, with that 9.4 rating from guests, you know they’re consistently getting the basics right — which, let’s be honest, is harder than it sounds in the hospitality world.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps bringing people back (and earning those high ratings) is how this place manages to be both practical and comfortable without trying too hard. It’s not flashy, but it’s exactly what you want when you’re exploring a city like Brussels — somewhere clean, well-located, and reliable that doesn’t eat up your entire travel budget. The fact that couples especially love it says something about the atmosphere; there’s something quietly romantic about having your own little retreat that’s still perfectly connected to everything the city offers. Sometimes the best travel experiences come from places that just get the fundamentals right, and this one definitely does.

Reviews of Bijna Wit, Nabij Trein, Metro n7688

• Garcia from Spain – 2 June 2025 (10/10)

  La casa está a unos 100m de una parada de metro. Andando al centro son unos 20 minutos. El apartamento es amplio y no eché de menos nada. Todo muy limpio. Ah! hay un LIDL a 300m.
  
  What could be improved: La verdad es que todo fue muy bien Si tuviera que pedir algo sería unas cortinas mas oscuras. En la época en la que fuimos a las 6 de la mañana ya es día.

• Nicolas from France – 12 May 2025 (9/10)

  Spacieux, propre et très bien aménagé.

• Giovanna from Italy – 23 April 2025 (10/10)

  L'appartamento al 3 piano in appartamento storico con tutto ciò che serve per stare anche più giorni, cucina completa,lavastoviglie,comodi letti,possibilità di usare lavatrice e asciugatrice.
  Gentilissimi iproprietari.
  
  What could be improved: Questo non dipende dai proprietari, ma la zona non è delle migliori.
  Comoda per Midi per potersi muovere in treno, ma non da frequentare per un caffè, una birra ecc.

• Rubén from Spain – 24 March 2025 (8/10)

• Elena from Spain – 4 January 2025 (9/10)

  Muy nuevo todo y super acogedor. La limpieza muy top, estaba todo impecable: muy muy limpio. Además, no falta de nada, tanto en la cocina como en el baño.
  
  What could be improved: No hay ascensor. 15 minutos andando al centro pero hay parada de metro y bus cerca del apartamento.

• David from Spain – 23 September 2024 (10/10)

  Tenía todo tipo de accesorios.
  
  What could be improved: El barrio.

• Ana from Portugal – 13 September 2024 (8/10)

  Da limpeza do espaço, das comodidades oferecidas dentro do apartamento (máquina café, torradeira, microondas), da privacidade e sossego.
  
  What could be improved: Falta de estores opacos – muita luz à noite.
  3 andar sem elevador com casa de banho fora do apartamento, o que se torna um pouco desconfortável por exemplo à noite, não mencionado na reserva.
  O bairro não me pareceu indicado para mulheres a viajar sozinhas, em família não tivemos problemas.

• José from Spain – 12 August 2024 (10/10)

  El apartamento mut límpio y acogedor, los propietários muy amables y con una muy buena predisposición a todo lo que les pedías y la ubicación, un poco lejos del centro pero con una parada de metro muy cerca. En definitiva genial por todo
  
  What could be improved: Quizás impresiona la zona donde está el apartamento que todo es de comércios y gente magrebina y del áfrica negra, pero durante nuestra estáncia nunca tuvimos ningún problema

• Jakub from Czech Republic – 24 June 2024 (10/10)

  Very nice hosts and suopernice hosts. Interesting and pretty interior, good equipment and basically a quiet and comfortable place. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the house and if I have a stay in Brussels this is going to be my first choice.

• Giovanni from Germany – 2 April 2024 (9/10)

  The apartment is spacious and clean, full of light. Appliances and commodities are fully available (but at the limit for a family). The location is ok, near the tube; the quarter is not the best in Brussel but there are shops and a spectacular street market on weekends.
  The hosts are exquisitely kind and helpful. This fact makes you feel at a fiend's home.
  
  What could be improved: Going out in the evening would have been a challenge. The (private!) bathroom is on the half-floor, outside the apartment. A wider supply of dishes and cups would have been desirable. None of these limitations would prevent us from going there again!
