Modern Apartment Third Floor

Modern Apartment Third Floor Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to the third floor of this Brussels townhouse, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from Modern Apartment Third Floor — the name’s pretty straightforward, right? But once you step inside, you realize this four-star place actually lives up to its billing. The space feels more like a friend’s well-designed apartment than a typical hotel, which is exactly what makes it work so well for couples looking for something different in Brussels.

The Space Itself

The room — well, it’s really more of a full apartment — has this clean, minimalist vibe that somehow manages to feel cozy rather than sterile. You know what I mean? The kitchen is actually functional (not just for show), and I found myself making coffee there most mornings instead of hunting down a café. The layout flows nicely, and there’s enough space that you’re not tripping over your luggage every five minutes. The modern touches are done thoughtfully — good lighting, decent Wi-Fi, and a bathroom that doesn’t make you feel like you’re in a cramped hotel box.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s where this place really shines — Rue de Mérode in Sint-Gillis is one of those Brussels neighborhoods that feels authentically local without being inconvenient. You’re about a 15-minute walk to the city center, but honestly, I found myself spending more time exploring the immediate area. There are some great little bistros within a couple blocks, and the Parvis de Saint-Gilles market on weekends is worth checking out. The recent guests who rated the location 8.5 weren’t exaggerating — it’s that sweet spot where you feel like you’re living in Brussels rather than just visiting it.

Practical Considerations

Let me be real about a few things — this is a third-floor walkup, so if you’re traveling with heavy bags, just mentally prepare for that climb. The parking situation is typical Brussels (meaning, well, good luck), but the public transport connections are solid. I actually appreciated not having a car here. The building itself is quiet, which surprised me given that you’re still in the city. The 8.2 overall rating feels about right — it’s a really good place with a few minor quirks that come with staying in a converted residential building.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps coming back to me about this place is how it strikes that balance between independence and comfort. Couples especially seem to get it — there’s something romantic about having your own little Brussels pied-à-terre, even if it’s just for a few nights. You can cook breakfast together, spread out your stuff, and actually relax instead of feeling like you’re camping in a hotel room. The modern touches don’t overwhelm the character of the old building, and the location gives you that insider feeling without sacrificing convenience. It’s the kind of place where you start planning your next Brussels trip before you’ve even checked out.

  Everything was beautiful on the property. Cleaned room, exceptional location, next to the central Train station.
  Good kitchen with all the facilities, including the bath room.
  
  What could be improved: There is no lift. So, bringing the luggage upstairs is not easy.

• Paula from Netherlands – 29 July 2024 (9/10)

  The apartment was very big , nice and comforable! Also very spacious. The location was very close to the Train station. The air conditioner works perfectly!
  
  What could be improved: The location was a little scary walking in the night. We saw a lot of group of people doing robberies. We didn’t experience anything like that. The reason why is because we tried to go back to the apartment not very late.

  What could be improved: There was no colander. It was tricky to adjust the boiler controls. One bed was very squeaky.

• Jam from Qatar – 24 August 2023 (7/10)

  The location of the apartment is within 150 m to Brussels Midi train station and all other transportation options. Very spacious apartment with 3 bedrooms with queen double bed each. Big toilet and kitchen.
  
  What could be improved: The host charged extra 20 Euro for extra towels which I paid, and was asking for 400 Euro for deposit for any damages, but I did not pay.
  Check out was smooth. No elevator so if you have heavy luggage, you have a task to do.

• Bhaskarwar from Netherlands – 26 June 2023 (7/10)

  Cleanliness and location
  
  What could be improved: The handle for washroom was broken and the owner did not fixed it. It was very inconvenient for family of six. Plus there is only one washroom for whole apartment. The apartment is actually on 4th floor, not third.
