As a Turkish coffee lover, I would have loved a "cezve" there, but I know it's not a custom in that part of Europe. Also, please note that AC is not built in, but a mobile one (for those who pay attention to it). These are just minor things,

The apartment is cosy and equipped with everything you might need. I loved the retro bathroom tiles and cabinet, and especially enjoyed spending time on the balcony. I appreciate the TV programmes from Croatia, and the first aid kit in the bathroom. The problem of the sun waking people up in the morning has also been solved with the addition of a shade that blocks the light at the entrance to the room. Even on hot days, the apartment remained at a fairly moderate temperature without the need for air conditioning. Karim is an excellent, friendly host with a great sense of humour. He provided lots of useful information about the city, its history, interesting places to visit and how to use public transport efficiently. All in all, I would book it again. The location is perfect — it's just a 20–30 minute walk from the city centre, but you can reach it by train in just 5–6 minutes from Brussels Central and 9 minutes from Brussels Midi/Zuid, with trains passing by every 1–5 minutes. Since it's just across the street from Brussels Nord railway station, it's very convenient for reaching the city centre, the south of the city and Schuman station (for transfers to Charleroi Airport and the European Quarter, respectively). The Flixbus station is also next to the Brussels Nord station. Some reviewers mentioned not feeling safe late at night because of suspicious people hanging around the railway station, but that's not true – the same thing happens in the city centre anyway. I was out until around midnight, so I don't know what happens later, but it was just a normal hot summer's evening in a big city with lots of people hanging out outdoors.

A good location for public transport and walking into the city centre it's a flat terrain so an easy walk. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and had everything you need and more with Karim the host going the extra mile to make our stay relaxing provided tea and coffee and sugar and salt and spices soap and cleaning products towels and tea towels. The views from the good size balcony are fantastic by day and night. The bed was comfortable and had a nice sofa and great tv with plenty of channels in most languages. Any help you need Karim will supply I'm sure. We will stay here again if we return to Brussels.

Being next to the train station, surroundings may look dodgy. As for everywhere, just watch out and it will be more than fine.

This is the cleanest property I've recently been to!! Furniture is a bit outdated but it has a lot of storage, kitchen and bathroom are fully equipped with everything you need (no washing machine though). It has a balcony overseeing the city and station (but there is no noise whatsoever) where we took our meals and relaxed. A lot of security doors at the entrance. Wifi works pretty well too. The host was super in reaching out, providing information and tips. Train station is across the road, so super easy to reach and move around and to go to city center.

The owner was super helpful and kind; for example, upon arrival, when I arrived after one in the morning due to a delay, he had no problem coming and accommodating me.

The apartment is cosy, full equipped, good located- with very good transport options around (train & metro station 100m and many buses). Maybe all things inside are not new, but very clean. Very good place for 2 persons. But the main asset is the host- Karim! He is really great, he took care about us many days before we came, gave us very useful advise how to get to the apartment. He was very flexible- it was a possibility for earlier checking in. In the fridge we found welcome beer and Karim gave us many tips where to go (oral and in prepared materials- also in our language) Karim you are the best host ever!!!

It was very close to the city centre and the property was clean and well kept. The apartment had everything I needed to make my stay comfortable. The owner Karim was also very helpful and gave me maps and directions to places that I could visit. I really enjoyed my time there.

The furniture took up a lot of space in the apartment, making it a little uncomfortable to navigate around.

The host was very friendly, he met us on arrival at the entrance to the building to hand over the keys and show us through the apartment. He also gave us great tips for what to do during our stay and left train travel cards for us to top up and use as we needed. The accommodation was conveniently located next to the train station, had a great view of Brussels from the balcony, and was fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay, including suitable WiFi for working remotely.

Wonderful host who waited on our arrival and explained everything about the apartment and the surrounding area as well as places to go. The apartment itself has everything that we needed, and the kitchen is well-equipped. We had a lovely time there.

Previous visitors have commented on the large furniture getting in the way of easy movement. We concur, but the solution may be as easy as removing the large coffee table. The ottoman is probably sufficient for most purposes.

This apartment practically right outside Brussels Noordstation is great for visiting Brussels as well as using for a base to visit neighbouring towns. Both the train and Flix bus station were only steps away. We didn't try the buses but found it easy to take the train for day trips to Leuven and Ghent, and then onwards to Brugge (Bruges). The apartment itself is clean and has all the amenities for your stay, but the biggest asset is the accommodating and caring host. The kitchen is small but has a couple of burners and a good sized microwave. To illustrate Karim's hospitality, he not only forewarned us of an impending strike that could affect public transport, but also took the time to check out and inform us of our options. This is despite the fact that we would have been out of his apartment already. Navigating a foreign country is not always easy, especially when things are going awry. Getting help under such circumstances is amazing. We wholeheartedly agree with the accolades that were in previous reviews.
