New apartment in Brussels house

I stayed in this apartment for four nights during a heat wave in Brussels. Overall, the apartment itself is spacious and pleasant, the bed is very comfortable, and the shower is good. The location and general condition of the flat were also very good.

However, the stay was made quite uncomfortable by the very high indoor temperatures. The apartment has no air conditioning and, for most of my stay, there was no fan available. As it is located on the upper floor, it became extremely hot, reaching around 30°C at night according to the thermometer inside the flat. After spending the day sightseeing, it was difficult to return in the late afternoon and relax before going out again in the evening. Opening the windows at night was not an ideal solution, as there were no insect screens, and I was concerned about birds or insects entering the apartment. The bed was also prepared with a thick winter duvet, which was not suitable for the weather conditions. I contacted the host and asked whether a fan could be provided. She kindly said she would look into it when she returned from her weekend trip. Unfortunately, no fan was available during most of my stay. A standing fan was eventually provided on the night before my departure, which I appreciated, but it came too late to significantly improve my overall comfort during the four-night stay.

Appartement très propre et placé dans un quartier calme. Il est situé à 3min du tram 92 et 10min du métro ( arrêt Louise)

Rien

Boa localização, bem próximo de um ponto de TRAM e das rua das lojas. Apartamento grande, com sala ampla e cozinha conjugada. Anfitriã muito educada e prestativa, deixou entrarmos mais cedo.

O piso do apartamento é barulhento. Uma garrafa de água no dia da chegada seria legal. Apartamento no terceiro andar e não tem elevador. Pra subir com as malas quando chegamos foi cansativo. Não tem iluminação nas escadas de noite, usamos a luz do celular.

Property was lovely and clean . The stairs were a problem though. Too many stairs when carrying luggage and shopping. The location was a little too far out and much around the apartment. A local shop to buy essentials would have been much better.

The stairs and the location . The dishwasher didn’t work . There was no hand soap in the toilet . Considering there was no supermarket nearby , my stay would have been improved by the host providing a few essentials ie soap , washing up liquid, tea , coffee and milk . Had I had these essentials my experience would have been more comfortable.
