Brussels South - Cosy Appartment

De locatie lag heel dichtbij het tram spoor. Heel ruim appartement. Lekkere douche Grote ramen Het snelle en duidelijke contact met de eigenaar.

De gezelligheid van de slaapkamer. En de televisie doet het niet.

Great location near to the main station, the apartment was very simple and had everything we needed.

Essentials like tea towels, coffee pods would be helpful to have for the machine but they weren't expensive to buy. Pillows instead of thin cushions would have been nice and more homely. We had to prompt the owner to give us the access code to the lockbox and the instructions told us the wrong lockbox.

This is a really spacious transverse flat with very nice light from big windows front and back. There's a huge living-dining room with a kitchen in a corner, a very large shower room with two basins, a big main bedroom and a separate loo, all opening off a nice wide corridor. The sofa bed was very comfy and my friend reported that the main bed was also very good. The fittings were simple and elegant. Hand towels and face towels were provided but not bath towels or teatowels. It's really close to the main Brussels South station for Eurostar and excursions to Bruges, etc. There's two evangelical churches in the street so you get a lot of people coming and going outside and the distant sound of music. We found a nice local pub/restaurant about a block away on rue Crickx Lambert.

Maintenance had been let slip: the kettle didn't work, the shower was blocked, there was only one wine glass, no coffee pot, etc. One of the chairs had a bent leg. The owner had to be prompted to send the access code.

Het appartement kwam overeen met de foto en het bed was prima

Bij aankomst bleek de eerder beschreven en in boeking bevestigde privé parkeerplaats niet aanwezig, hier hebben we van tevoren geen informatie over ontvangen waardoor we heel duur bij nabijgelegen parkeerplaats moesten parkeren. Ter compensatie werd ons enkel gratis annuleren aangeboden maar als je om 21 u in de avond aankomt na een lange reis is dat geen reeële optie. Het beddengoed van de slaapbank was nog nat en er waren meerdere pannen in de keukenlade niet afgewassen. Badkamer was wel schoon. De buurt bleek slechter dan gedacht, smerige straat met in de avond veel ongure types wat ons een onveilig gevoel gaf.
