The room we got was not in the pictures, it was in the attic where we could only stand upright in the middle, and there was a really narrow staircase with a sharp turn that was very difficult to get up with our luggage. The stairs to get up there was not much better and the railing felt fragile, so it was a bit scarry to carry up our 20-something kg suitcases all the way to the top! The room was not as nice at the others, it was very worn and old. It was also very warm when the temperature was over 30 degrees during the day, and we only had a noisy fan to cool us down when we were going to sleep. There were SHARED bathrooms, which I could not see anywhere from the description of the place! At least they provided bathrobes. The bathrooms were of low standards, and one could not be locked, while the two others had weird or broken locks. In the closest bathroom we could not get warm water in the shower... We got some coffee capsules to use in the coffee maker, but it was not easy to get it working, and the kitchen had a lot of cupboards, but few utensils and we had to search a lot to find the things we needed. Over all we had thought it would be better for that price. If we had known all the limitations in advance (and that we were going to be put in the attic) and had paid a lower price it might had been ok, but we were very disappointed given the descriptions, the pictures and the price we paid.

...make it clear that my room is an attic!
1. Had to call the owner for access to the building. My check in email with the info didn't arrive until 19h15!
2. There were 85 steps up to the room, including the final set that was steep, narrow, and turned 90 degrees. Not easy for luggage!
3. None of the room photos was of the "attic hideaway". A person can only stand in the centre of the roughly 20' x 10' room (including the stair hatch). I don't object to renting an attic with torn carpet and a foam mattress on the floor if I know that's what I'm getting!
4. Mould on the bathroom tiles.
5. No TV in the room. No TV in the common area.

If you want to get off the tourist grid and mix it up with the locals, this place is for you. If you have any health issues with stairs, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Property is only 30-40 minute walk from the centre of Brussels which is a beautiful walk when the weather is nice
The area is extremely peaceful with very little noise
The rooms have a lot of space and have everything you need to stay and cook. The host is very friendly and can speak very good English, area around feels very safe even after midnight
Would stay again

The pictures on the website did not match with the reality.
The room was on the attic.
Shower very small. The shower experience was terrible. I will never book here again.

Customer service was great, however it has shared bathroom with another 2 rooms. and I was advised I would have private bathroom. Also is real hard to acces to the room, is on a third floor and stairs are so small and dangerous, we had baggage so it was so hard to access even tho we are young and fit.

We had a bad experience on this place. The owner send us a message with the access code, but we get it NOT ON TIME. We walked by the property but, at the end, booked in another hotel. Really Bad Service.

Positives: Cute little boutique accommodation place in Brussels, room is spacious, friendly owner, and there is netflix available
Downsides: Very cold in the room and heating didn't work, shared bathroom, bathroom lock isn't very secure, scared of other guests walking in, no cutlery in the kitchen to eat with.

When I arrived, the manager, who didn't speak English well, did not notice that I had a reservation. In his first response, he told me that I was wrong, that the place was all booked, and that they didn't know what Orbitz was.
Upon insisting that I had a reservation, he apologized as soon as he checked in their disorganized booking system.
Walking up some stairs, I took about five minutes to figure out how to open the door, since the lock was very old and difficult to open.
The positive about the apartment is that it is large and classy with a private bathroom. Comfortable living room with a smart TV.
It was possible to hear noise from upstairs because of the old infrastructure.
