Situated in the historic 1000 Brussels postal code area, Center Design Residence places you just moments away from some of the city’s most treasured landmarks. The narrow, charming Rue d’Accolay is characteristic of Brussels’ historic center, with its cobblestone streets and distinctive architecture that speaks to the city’s rich heritage.

Reviews of Center Design Residence
Geraldine from Australia – 13 November 2023 (9/10)
Excellent apartment. Everything was nice. Bed, shower, living room and kitchen
What could be improved: Heater didn't work but they brought a new one.
The building had a few problems. Hallway and stairwell and laundry lights didn't work (but they were fIxed 2 days later), front door key didn't workLena from Spain – 6 November 2023 (8/10)

Zlatina from United Kingdom – 2 November 2023 (8/10)
Great Location, nice apartment.
What could be improved: Cleanliness and accessibility of the apartment. Very challenging to get in and out.Eyles from United Kingdom – 15 September 2023 (8/10)
how big it was and the location
What could be improved: I could not use the oven way too complicated and there was no toaster very hard to open the front door is not working correctly someone lives here said they've been complaining for yearsJikke from United States – 3 September 2023 (7/10)
Quiet location
What could be improved: A lot of (fruit) flies. Poor check in instructions: key lock box was actually ACROSS the street and hard to find. The front door very hard to open and the manager called me right before check in that he wanted to move us to another appartement because he could not figure out how to unfold the sofa bed couch! We needed to stay in that particular location, so we did not move and googled the brand of the sofa bed couch and figured it out. Also there was a lot of old random “stuff “ in the apartment, apparently left by previous travelers. Also shower door moves and leeks. My husband had to fix the bathroom sink, which didn’t drain.Huey from Singapore – 20 May 2023 (8/10)
Just 8 mins walk from central station. can walk to almost all major attraction. During our stay, the temperature is still low, there are 4 portable heater in the unit, even 1 is not working, is still enough to kept us warm.
What could be improved: Bed room a little too small, mattress is too soft for me. The way of collecting key….. very efficient, but no personal touch.Rob from United Kingdom – 4 April 2023 (8/10)
Great location and really good value. Would definitely recommend.
What could be improved: Nothing!Amanda from United Kingdom – 28 March 2023 (8/10)
great location and had all amenities required for the stay
What could be improved: lift was a bit smellyDorota from Poland – 12 February 2023 (8/10)
Great location of the apartment: walking distance to the Brussels interesting places. On the other hand, a proximity to a cozy restaurant area. The actual street is very calm.
Apartment's furnishing includes everything that you may need for a short stay. There are also some helpful supplies, like tea bags, coffee capsules, clothes washing liquid. I appreciated that some non-perishing food (flour, sugar, spices) left by previous guests were there in the kitchen.
What could be improved: The apartment was not clean, I could find a full baby's diaper in the night stand. Especially bathroom was a little bit disgusting. The glass screen destined to protect the bathroom from being flooded from the bathtub leaked.
In addition I plugged the wash basin and the plug got stuck. Hence we could hardly use the wash basin. I let the host know however it was never fixed.
Some of the furniture was broken (coffee table, little lamp).Alexandra from United Kingdom – 22 November 2022 (7/10)
amazing location and amenities! great staff and communication very easygoing.
What could be improved: could be better cleaned and the mattress is not the best.
