Luxe Serene Residence Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Luxe Serene Residence feels like discovering a well-kept secret in one of Brussels’ most coveted neighborhoods. This four-star property sits on the second floor of Residence Le Forestier, and honestly, the moment you step inside, you understand why couples are giving the location nearly perfect scores. There’s something immediately calming about the space — it’s refined without being stuffy, which is exactly what you want after navigating Brussels’ bustling streets.

The Ixelles Advantage

You know what really sets this place apart? It’s nestled in Ixelles, which locals will tell you is where Brussels gets interesting. The area around Rue Kindermans has this perfect mix of authentic Belgian charm and cosmopolitan energy that you just don’t find in the touristy center. I mean, you’re close enough to everything that matters, but far enough away that you feel like you’re experiencing the real Brussels. The fact that this spot earned a 9.1 location score isn’t surprising — couples especially seem to love how walkable everything is from here.

Your Space

The room itself strikes that sweet spot between residential comfort and hotel polish. Since this is a residence-style setup, you get more space than your typical Brussels hotel, which actually makes a huge difference when you’re staying more than a night or two. The design feels thoughtfully curated — not overly trendy, but definitely current. What I really appreciated was how quiet everything was, despite being in such a well-connected area.

Practical Perks

Here’s something that’ll save you some headaches — they’ve got parking available on site, which is honestly a godsend in Brussels. Anyone who’s tried to find street parking in Ixelles knows what a relief this is. The building itself feels secure and well-maintained, and the second-floor location gives you just enough elevation to feel removed from street-level noise without making you feel disconnected from the neighborhood’s energy.

Why Guests Love It

With an 8.8 rating, this place clearly knows what it’s doing. What strikes me most is how it manages to feel both sophisticated and approachable — you’re not intimidated by overly formal service, but you’re definitely getting quality. The location really is the star here though; being in one of Brussels’ top-rated areas means you can walk to great cafés, proper Belgian beer spots, and those little neighborhood gems that make a trip memorable. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning your next Brussels visit before you’ve even checked out.

  • Exceptional – Kiourtsoglou from Greece – 15 March 2025 (10/10)

    Spacious, excellent location, quite

  • Very good apartment! – Georgi-bs from Bulgaria – 26 January 2025 (10/10)

    Very large and comfortable apartment on a quiet street. There is an elevator in the building. Two separate bedrooms, a living room with a kitchen area, a large entrance hall, a large bathroom and all kinds of amenities. The apartment is ideal for 4 people. The bedrooms are facing a quiet yard. Very convenient location near bus stops, bakery and Carrefour Express.

    What could be improved: There is no coffee machine. It was a little cold at check-in, but the heating quickly warmed up the apartment. One sink in the bathroom was clogged. We had to repair the lock in one of the bedrooms, but this did not prevent us from having a good experience.

  • Tutto a posto!!! – Ariel from Italy – 1 January 2025 (8/10)

    Nice apartment in a nice neiborhood, close to the historic center, actually you need to take a bus (38) or tram (93) to reach it about 15min +/-
    clean and good instalations. A lot of restaurants and Carrrefour to 5 min.
    We stayed 3 nights it's enough to visit Brussels. I fully recomend visit Brugges and Gant.

    Thank you Mirjana

  • Comfortable, clean apartment in a great location. Instructions were easy and useful. – Julia from Spain – 17 December 2024 (9/10)

    Well heated and great location.

    What could be improved: The living room is too packed with furniture that is too big for the space, so it is challenging to move around and to find a comfy spot.

  • Very stylish apartment, recommended for short or medium stays in Brussels. – Marius from Luxembourg – 11 September 2024 (10/10)

    Amazing apartment, very stylish living room and comfortable bedrooms.

    What could be improved: There was a misunderstanding that we managed to fix, hence all was great for us.

  • Definitely recommend this to any one! – Jegadeesh from Netherlands – 30 August 2024 (8/10)

    Property was clean and easy to access. Very much comfortable for a single family with 2 kids.

    What could be improved: Since we are travelling and staying with family, if they keep towels would have been nice.

  • Excellent value for money, parking is a problems – Jonas from Sweden – 21 July 2024 (9/10)

    Lots of space, nice apartment in quiet area, good beds and a sofa for the one who snores too much.
    Big refrigerator, close to grocery and other stores and tram 200 m away, good fruits and vegetables store just across.
    Exceptional value for money.

    What could be improved: Kitchen amenities a little sparse. No colender for pasta, no small saucepan.
    Parking is free only by night. Daytime you need to move your car every 4.5 hour – you pay dearly but can't pay for more time after which you are required to move. If you get around by public transport, find a long time garage (there is one at Stephanie).
    Not the fault of the host, though.
