Petit Appartement Jourdan EU

A charming apartment in a very good part of Brussels, close to the lively Jourdan square and the European institutions. Public transport to/from the Zaventem airport is excellent. You don't have to climb stairs, which might be demanding in the traditionally super narrow and steep stairways of typical Brussels buildings. The furniture is practical, the bed is comfortable for one person. The bathroom is nice, clean and well thought out, despite its small size. The towels and toiletries provided are of reasonable quality. I particularly liked the cozy ambience and the pleasant color harmony of the interior, including the simple but warm lights.

Unfortunately I spent five days in the apartment during a summer heatwave, and it caused problems. 1) There was a fan in the apartment, but one blade was missing. It meant that performance was poor, and the little device was noisy and resonant because of the unbalanced rotation. 2) I sent two messages to the owner/manager in the Booking system, asking for a replacement, but there was absolutely no answer. I managed it myself then in a Brico not far away, but it's not a good sign that the owner/manager does not reply to your "emergency" message at all. 3) Most of the time it's great that the apartment is on the ground floor. Except in a heatwave, when you cannot sleep with the windows open. More musings: the bed is probably not wide enough for two people. The fridge had no deep freezer section.

Really comfortable and nice

Good directions for finding the property and easy access with door codes. Very satisfactory facilities, clean and comfortable. On a bus route but still reasonably quiet despite being ground floor opening onto a fairly major road.

Minor gripe - no good lights for reading.

Good position

It was cold and the apartment had not been heated at all at my arrival, the first night I was freezing
