Steve from Canada (10/10)
Amazing apartment in a great spot, so many things to do and lots of restaurants! Antonio is kind and attentive! The apartment is fully equipped and has everything you would need. Can't wait to come back!
ToSonja from United Kingdom (10/10)
Perfect location! Literally a short stroll from everywhere, including Grand Place, and right in the heart of restaurants, bars, cafes, shops and Christmas markets (but without any noise). Delightful owner who has thought of everything and added many nice touches. Everything provided for a short trip and immaculately clean. Thank you. Would def recommend.

It's super light, clean, well thought out and wow what a location. Great host, so incredibly responsive and warm. Honestly for the location, the high quality finish and comfort you really can't do better than this place.

Location was excellent, Very central.
Tifferes from France (9/10)
Antonio is a pro with communication, and made sure we had all the information we needed when we arrived, and throughout our stay. The apartment is beautiful, extremely well equipped with everything you could need, and nice and clean. The location is also very central.
Shadi from United States of America (10/10)
Location was close to metro, restaurants/bars were outside the door, and we were able to walk to some of the tourist sites. While the neighborhood was very active, the bedroom was located in the back of the apartment and was very quiet. The apartment had all the amenities of home and then some.
Wagner from Brazil (9/10)
Great location, nice attention from Antonio. Clean place
David from New Zealand (10/10)
Super apartment large and clean, right in the pedestrian zone near the Grand Place. Little restaurants on both sides and more opposite. Owner was very responsive and quickly fixed a problem with door codes when it arose. I rarely give a grade of 10 but this apartment is perfect.
Linda from Germany (10/10)
Super clean, right in the city centre but still quiet inside, great opening system for main doors without key
