È stata una vacanza perfetta! La struttura è in una posizione fantastica e molto ben collegata mentre all'interno l'appartamento è molto spazioso e pulito. Sono presenti persino Shampoo, balsamo e sapone per il corpo e coperte belle calde. La zona è ben collegata da tram, bus e la metro è molto vicina. Vi sono infine anche numerosissimi bar e ristoranti veramente molto buoni! Consigliatissimo, torneremo sicuramente!
Le scale sono ripide, ma non è niente di troppo preoccupante! Noi siamo riusciti a salire anche con le valigie
Emplacement au top
L'appartement à un lit deux places, un lit une place et un canapé qui est présenté comme pouvant être un lit 2 places. Cela est honteux de proposer ce canapé pour dormir! En vue du prix de la location on s'attendait à mieux pour dormir. Soit ce logement ne doit pas être pour plus de 3 personnes soit il faut investir dans un vrai canapé lit.
Lokalizacja super, samo serce Brukseli. Wyposażenie kuchni super, kawa, ekspres do kawy.
Po przyjeździe temperatura w mieszkaniu wynosiła 13,5°C. Piec był nieprawidłowo ustawiony i nie ogrzewał lokalu. Nie otrzymaliśmy żadnej instrukcji dotyczącej obsługi ogrzewania — problem musieliśmy rozwiązać samodzielnie. Router Wi-Fi był wyłączony, a kabel do telewizora podłączony nieprawidłowo, przez co telewizor nie działał. W łazience odpływ pod prysznicem był zapchany. Deska sedesowa była uszkodzona — jeden z uchwytów był wyrwany. Dodatkowo, mimo kilkukrotnych próśb, do dziś nie otrzymałem faktury za pobyt.
Good location. The place is clean and tidy..
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l'emplacement idéal pour visiter le centre-ville ainsi que l'appartement. Ce dernier est très confortable, très propre et bien décoré. Toit semble neuf. La literie est très confortable et la salle de bain idéale avec sa grande douche. La rue est passante mais nous n'avons pas été dérangés par le bruit. Un parking non loin, une boulangerie en face, des petits magasins, restaurants et cafés tout autour, rien n'a redire.Nous gardons l'appartement en tête pour un futur WE
Juste deux toutes, toutes petites choses...une deuxième prise ou multiprise dans la petite chambre serait pratique ainsi qu'une lampe de chevet.
Não cheguei a entrar.
Eu e três colegas reservámos um apartamento em Bruxelas através da Booking.com, para três noites. O apartamento incluía quartos e cozinha, sendo esta última condição essencial para fazermos as refeições durante a estadia. Quando chegámos ao local, o proprietário enviou três códigos de acesso: um para a entrada do prédio, um para recolher a chave do elevador e outro para entrar no apartamento. Apenas o primeiro funcionou. Os restantes códigos não davam acesso, impossibilitando qualquer entrada no alojamento. Tentámos contactar o proprietário várias vezes (via mensagem sem resposta e via telefone cujo número apresentado não estava atribuído). Contactámos o apoio da Booking durante a noite (mais de 4horas em contacto com diversos colaboradores). Fomos informados que tentariam falar com o proprietário e que deveríamos aguardar. Não obtivemos qualquer atualização. Voltámos a ligar e informaram-nos novamente que o proprietário não atendia e que teríamos de encontrar um hotel alternativo. Foi-nos dito que a Booking assumiria a diferença de preço entre o alojamento reservado e o hotel. Contactmos diversos hotéis naquela mesma noite, mas todos estavam esgotados. Conseguimos apenas reservar um hotel para duas noites (check-in às 15h do dia 30nov e check-out às 12h do dia 2 dez), não para três (check-in dia 29 nov e check-out dia 2 dez). Durante essa noite ficámos sem alojamento, ao frio e ao vento, sem qualquer apoio ou solução fornecida pela Booking.
Nice location, safe neighborhood.
Small elevator. Slow or no response from the Brussels center BRB Sablon on or questions and concerns.
Location
Until now I have not received the INVOICE , the owners never answered to the invoice request !! 2 days with no hot water..
The location is just perfect — it’s the cultural center of Brussels, with everything you need right at your doorstep: shops, cafés, and museums. The apartment is very well equipped with lots of useful items — kitchen utensils, toiletries, even coffee for the coffee machine, which is a lovely touch! The place is quite clean, and the bed linen is fresh and odor-free 👍
At first glance, everything looks nice, but some things are clearly worn out. For example, if you remove the cover from the sofa, you can see a large stain right in the middle. The sofa itself is extremely uncomfortable. The host was always available, which I appreciate, but it would have been nice to be informed in advance about issues with the property. The biggest drawback — and a serious one — was the lack of internet. The host knew about this but didn’t mention it beforehand. Late check-in at 4 p.m. is also not ideal. When my friend arrived first, there were still people in the apartment trying to fix the internet and TV (unsuccessfully). The host didn’t even bother to apologize for the inconvenience. In terms of value for money, the price is definitely too high. It left me with the impression that guests are seen just as passing tourists — “you’re not the first and won’t be the last.” I’ve rented apartments in Brussels before, and this time I decided to go for something more expensive, but unfortunately, I was very disappointed — the cheaper places turned out to be much better.
Fantastic location. Modern apartment. Near restaurants and bars and walkable to museums.
The apartment was lacking a few basics. There are two bedrooms with a total of two beds,yet only two bedside tables and one was not working as no lightbulb. I messaged the host asking them to drop off a new lightbulb and she ignored me. Secondly the apartment sleeps four or even five as there is also a sofa bed, yet there is not enough seating as the sofa is only big enough for three. The owners should add an additional comfy chair in the lounge area.
The pics show a terrace, but not all apartments have terrace
Magnifique appartement, très élégant, parfaitement situé. Les literies étaient très confortables. Les équipements étaient très complets. Un appartement dans lequel on pourrait vivre à l'année !
Nous n'avons jamais reçu le bon code wifi. L'appartement n'a pas de terrasse, contrairement aux photos de l'annonce.
Очень легко добраться, прекрасные апартаменты, великолепные матрасы и белье, есть все необходимое
Un alojamiento maravilloso. Íbamos con dos peques de 3 y 1 año y tenía todas las facilidades para ellas, cuna con colchón normal, trona, menaje infantil, incluso adaptador de WC. La ubicación es inmejorable, no sé necesita transporte público para nada. El alojamiento está muy limpio, todo el mobiliario muy nuevo. La cocina está totalmente equipada, tiene lavasecadora. La comunicación con la dueña no ha sido muy fluida, suele tardar en contestar, pero finalmente contesta a tiempo. El check in es vía cerradura electrónica, por lo que no es imprescindible quedar con la dueña. En general muy muy recomendable y para repetir.
Large apartment fully equipped kitchen. Location is wonderful with short walk down to the historical centre and Grand Palace. Great restaurants in the back street (Lola a highlight), lively bar (Chez Richard) on the corner and a very nice place (Terres Cafe) for morning coffee and waffle on the roundabout across the road.
Mattresses on beds hard or lumpy (sofa bed mattress was terrible). The TV could not be connected (no power cord).
The apartment had a great location, just 600 meters from the Central Station, and even the buses stopped only 100 meters away. It was also very spacious and comfortable.
Apartamento amplio y luminoso. Todo muy nuevoEstá en una zona muy tranquila, bonita y muy céntrica.
Tuvimos un problema con la caldera. No funcionaba ni el agua ni la calefacción pero se pudo solucionar en poco tiempo.
Location is excellent. Very comfortable beds, very clean. Will be back.
Impossible d' accéder à l' appartement. Le digicode de la porte de l appartement ne fonctionnait pas ou le code n' était pas le bon. La propriétaire Sandy n' a pas répondu à mes appels et à mes mails. Aucune excuse de la part de la propriétaire... L' assistance booking nous a proposé de réserver un autre hébergement. J' espère que la prise en charge des frais sera bien effective.
Hallo, wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt. Die Möbel waren neu und sauber
Aber die Terrasse war sehr klein.
Posizione ottima
L'appartamento si trova nella zona più bella di Bruxelles, in un'area panoramica e residenziale, accanto al complesso museale, ma comunque a poco più di 10 minuti dal centro storico. Pulito e confortevole, bagno con doccia spazioso.
La ubicación excepcional. El apartamento es agradable.
El sofá-cama es imposible dormir en él. Aparentemente está bien, pero al abrirlo, tiene las tiras rotas y es imposible descansar. El precio del apartamento es alto, está en una zona ideal, muy centrico, y deberían plantearse seriamente poner un nuevo sofá. Es lo que baja la puntuación al apartamento.
Location is perfect - nice neighborhood, close to the centre and to the train station Brussels central. Everything was in the flat - towels, bed linen, hairdryer, salt, pepper, tea-towel, tablets for the dishwasher, bags for trash, toiletries, … Nicely decorated. The owner sent very clear instructions for access.
In the middle of everything. Beautiful neighborhood, wonderful spacious apartment. Very near Brussels downtown.
Excellent location, clean and modern with fantastic facilities
The terrace area was a great addition but we didn’t use it as the decking seemed as though it needed replacing
Central location, clean apartment. Great views
We had a small mix up on arrival, we were told we were on the 2nd floor but it then turned out it was the 5th floor. It was sorted quickly.
Location was excellent
Water pressure / hot water
Instructions were clear and on time. Location amazing, view from living room amazing. I was very satisfied.
It was a great location (and nice and quiet) and the property was spacious, clean and nicely appointed.
The shower on the first morning had low pressure and the hot water quickly became cold. On the second morning, the shower pressure was very low and the water was cold.
Self checkin, entrance to building easy but entrance to apartment - code did not work. Unable to access the apartment. Tried to contact owner repeatedly, took over 2 hours to get a reply, by which time i had had to book something else. Now they are saying the code works and not confimring a refund. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Great location, comfortable place to stay.
Very open space with lots of room for the family to stretch out. Well located and easy to enter/exit to explore the inner city.
Great location, very nice area close to major sightseeing locations at walking distance, nice apartment wel equipped and good bed
Nothing
Great location with the old town within walking distance. There are many good restaurants and shops all round. The apartment.is clean and has all fhe facilities that we need. Shower water was excellent, comparing to the other 5 places we stayed in Europe. Host was helpful too with timely communication.
Our whole family, four people, travelled, so Dad had to sleep on the sofa bed, which was not very comfortable. This was probably the only downside.
Only two bedside table lamps in the property. One of those didn’t work as it didn’t have a bulb. No lamp in the second bedroom at all.
A lot of space and room
Communication with the owner was intermittent. Did not always respond to questions.
It was centrally located and very nice apt.
Very comfortable, clean, in the city centre.
Location in a lovely neighbourhood. Clean and spacious. Well equipped kitchen and bathroom. Very helpful information in the apartment. Supermarket and a lovely bakery very close to the apartment.
Check-in time at 16 is a bit too late
High quality equipment, spacious apartment, convenient location.
The water was not heating properly. It turned ice cold after a minute or two, so it was almost impossible to take a shower. In addition, there is little sound insulation so it can be loud depending on your neighbors or the people you are sharing the apartment with.
Wonderful location and very spacious and modern apartment.
Location, cleanliness, ambient, spacious
Broken shower door, bright spots on TV screen, WiFi password was provided only after asking for it
Someone entered the appartment with the code to the door while we were not there and stole pants and wallet. They have withdrawn over 350 euro on the stolen creditcard and 100 euro in cash. Together with drivers license, health security card. It cost us over 750 euro. Police are involved. Don’t rent at this place!!!
Not safe, see above
The only selling point of the apartments is location. But you should know that the street were the apartment is located is noisy. Especially on Friday and Saturday evenings.
Communication is very slow, dismissive and not welcoming. Messages are answered after about a day. Phone number what you get after the booking is unreachable-no one answers on it. And it don't have Whatsapp or any other app also it dont answers on sms. Furniture and equipment in flat is cheapest that could be. Equipment needs renovation. Floor needs to be varnished. There is NO blackout curtains in the bedrooms. Bed in double bedroom is 160 cm wide and it's NOT King size/extra-large double bed as stated in ad. The assignment of the two bedroom apartment pictures should be clearer - No terrace, only balcony. Only apartment with one bedroom have terrace. And all this you get for more than 500 Eur per night for two bedroom apartment where second bedroom is very small.
Fantastic location. Very clean and tidy.
The location was perfect.
I woud have liked two additional pillows and more kitchen towels.
Great location in Sablon. Convenient access to Centraal Station, restaurants, markets, Grand Place, and more. Very spacious apartment.
The floors! So squeaky.
Excellent location of the accommodation (near the central station), clean apartment, helpful hosts, availability of pleasant things (chocolate, coffee) :)
A very neat and clean apartment.
Good location, nice modern apartment
When we got to the apartment at 9pm at night, after a long day of travelling, we could not get into the apartment, as the code provided to enter by the owner was wrong. When calling the owner and messaging we did not get any answer, so we ended up standing outside the apartment for an hour trying to gain access and get hold of the owner. Frustrating start to our trip
The house was very clean; it had a lot of commodities (including lovely chocolates and a guide to the city); it was easy to get into the property; the location was impeccable, everything was within 15 minutes.
I don´t think the bed was very comfortable, but it was not terrible as well. The single bedroom had a strange noise all day, but I believe it had origins outside the apartment.
Great location. Communication with the owner was excellent; received response immediately to my questions.
Great location,clean and spacious space.
