I and two friends road-tripped from Stuttgart, Germany to Brussels, Belgium for a long weekend and found this apartment to be QUITE the deal! Originally a group of 4-5, we booked a loft apartment to ensure ample sleeping room for everyone. We were provided two single beds, a double bed, a futon and two couches. Definitely enough space! Full kitchen, two full bathrooms (although, the master bath was more of a bathtub than shower ... and didn't have a shower curtain - so that was interesting. There was a washing machine, but considering our short stay, we didn't use that. There was also a large balcony, which would be excellent for hanging out in the warmer months. The best parts about this place were the proximity to the Grand Place and the security. A simple 5-7 minute walk straight down the street (past Mannekin Pis), and we were there. You don't get this much space for such a great price in such a wonderful location from anyone else!! There was one key which unlocked three doors BEFORE we got to our apartment. The only people who were getting in were those who were supposed to be there - which made me much less nervous to leave my passport and iPad behind while we were out siteseeing.
Minus one point because: The water in the showers was warm at best and the beds/pillows were terribly uncomfortable.
Check-out was 10:30 on the nose, which, after a night at the Delirium Cafe can definitely be tough. The cleaning man was standing outside our door at 10:20 waiting for us. From what the exhaustive list of rules indicated, there would be a €25 charge implemented for anyone checking out AFTER 10:30am ... as our neighbor in Loft 1 was learning the hard way as we were walking out the door.
The rule list was, in my opinion, a little ridiculous, but I can also understand why they go to such lengths to protect their facilities. The loft would have been an EXCELLENT party space ... but alas, "No Parties" was on the rule list. The apartment was beautiful - and I would definitely stay here again with friends or family, and will recommend it to anyone I know travelling to Brussels as well.
I only wish my trip would have lasted longer so I could've had a chance to use the kitchen and enjoy this apartment for a little while longer!!
