Appartement Chic

Beautiful, tasteful, unique accommodation

Pros: An absolutely beautiful apartment in a beautiful townhouse in a beautiful part of Brussels! Our host was fabulous, perfectly attentive and welcoming whilst offering privacy and relaxation. Loved the quirky nature of the place, the amazingly high ceilings and the tasteful decor. Well equipped, including (unexpectedly) a couple of English BBC channels on the TV for chilling in the comfy sofa late in the day. Well connected to public transport which was amazingly efficient and cheap, lots of restaurants in walking distance and a supermarket a 2 min walk away. Despite me maybe having reservations about the layout/facilities which I hadn't realised until after booking, I would certainly book again if ever back in Brussels - amazing value too!

Cons: The positives of quirky to me might translate to unconventional to others... It's 2 flights of stairs up to the apartment, with the kitchen and a toilet on the lower floor, then up to the upper floor which has the lounge and two bedrooms. One bedroom has a toilet and separate bathroom up another few steps, and the other room a beautiful free standing bath and sink. The negatives are that shower facilities are limited to hand held shower heads in both baths, without any form of shower screens/curtains. A huge practical improvement would be for one of the baths to have a wall mounted shower with curtain, or even better a walk-in shower. For us, for two nights, it wasn't a big deal, but for our group with more limited mobility it was something I should have picked up before booking. The other quirky aspect is the very retro lift that travels through the whole house - it is the type with gated mesh doors which does mean that the owner can in theory glimse into a small part of the apartment as they travel through, but this never disturbed us once and is easily mitigated insofar as the small hallway where the lift runs through can be closed off by door. The only other thing to mention is that the apartment locks only (as far as I could tell) on the upper floor so I guess you wouldn't want to leave any belongings in the kitchen, as would in theory be accessible to the ground floor occupant. The whole house is secured externally however so this really wasn't an issue, but it would be slightly more convenient/reassuring if the lock to the lower floor was also functional for guessing use too. All that said, would come back again in a heartbeat - loved it!

Pros: Beautiful house, very spacious. Only minutes away from bus and tram station.

Hidden gem in the most beautiful area of Bruxelles!

Pros: We loved the location: the neighbourhood is super quiet, with many nice bars and restaurants. Also the availability of the host was superb. She was always reachable through the app and very precise in her indications. Finally the house is amazing. The apartment is full of light, very spacious and elegant.

Cons: We wished it was a bit cleaner. That means that upon arrival we could notice it needed some dusting and some hair were on the floor. But honestly for short stay (and considering we spent most of the time outside anyway) is perfectly fine. Most importantly the bedsheets and towels were all clean! It is true that perhaps the bathtub solutions are not the most indicated for everyone, but it certainly adds a touch of elegance and fun.

Enjoyed, nice area close to metro.

Pros: Beautiful building, little noisy from upstairs living accommodation. Nice area and people friendly

Lovely apartment in good location

Pros: Great apartment, clean and as pictured with lots of character. Lovely area to stay in and easy to get into town. Would definitely recommend!

Cons: Scaffolders came on the day of check out and started work at 8am which we weren't aware of. The second bedroom was also a bit loud at night if other flats have their washing machine on as you can hear through the lift shaft.

Lovely stay in a beautiful area of Brussels

Pros: The accommodation is placed in a beautiful and quiet area. Access to public transport is good and it’s reachable by walking in 5-10 minutes. The self check-in was smooth and all the communication with the host was great and fast. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. We loved the bathtub arrangement and the ambiance.

Spacious flat, great location, friendly host.

Pros: Excellent location in a residential neighbourhood, yet within a walking distance to restaurants and shops. The flat is spacious and stylish, with an interesting layout, reliable heating, and a bathroom with a bathtub which I enjoyed. There is a beautiful view on the back gardens. The host was very friendly, she waited for me to arrive when my plane was late in the evening, and she even very generously shared some food. Thank you! I would return anytime. I highly recommend.

Very comfortable, easy stay in traditional setting. Excellent.

Pros: This was a great traditional property carefully adapted for use as a rental. Lots of original features and build with high ceilings and good natural light. Loads of space and storage was excellent. Facilities were also excellent and you could just stay or use all mod cons in the kitchen for regular living. There is a bakery at hand and a minimarket so stocking up was easy. It's slightly out from the centre but tram route 10 (churchill) is nearby and a 10 minute journey in. Easy to navigate. There are some restaurants nearby but there is more choice if you travel into the centre and return.

Cons: For those who really like a modern shower you'll find this a compromise with traditional baths and a hose attachment. That though helps to maintain the traditional elements of the building.

Very grand apartment.

Pros: We liked that Constantine took time to explain the local area and where we could settle in for our work trip.

Cons: Absolutely nothing.

Pros: Spatious and as in the pictures, great area very well connected with public transportation
