J and R Brussels City Apartment

Sehr nette Gastgeber , Saubere Ferienwohnung mit guter Ausstattung

The place is as described- very clean and comfortable. Be sure to communicate ahead of time with the kind host about check-in time. The butcher next door has great take-away food that makes meals very easy.

Johan is a friendly well organised host. HIs apartment is very well appointed features lots of natural Iight while at same time is private. If I plan on returning to Brussels, the first thing I wlll do is check if this apartment is available.

The staff were friendly and explained what I needed to know. The instructions for check-in were confusing however, because I thought I had to call before arriving. Turns out that I just needed to go specified address and contact Johan to go through the check-in process. The shower was a little lukewarm, but wasn't too much of a problem after turning up the room and bathroom radiators. Also be ready to pay 10EUR per night tax (Belgium thing), as well as a 100EUR deposit (which will be returned during check-out and inspection). Nearest transport is the 82 Tram line (stop is Van Zande), and to get to Brussels centre you can stop at west station or Brussels Midi (south) and change to the metro lines. You can find the pdf map files on the STIB-MIVB website (if you used the London underground maps before, shouldn't be too difficult). Also, you can the MoBIB card (like the London Oyster card) from the ticket machines themselves which is something that took me a few days to figure out (5EUR fee for new card). Thanks to J and R!

Extremely friendly reception by the owners (even if I was late, after 22.00!!). A fun "jumping back into the 70ies" feeling. BIG premises, fast internet and all at completely unbeatable price. PArk in front and leave your car there, tram is literally around the corner. J and R own a butchery in front of the street, go and get your meat and sandwiches there!! (the Martino is heavenly!). Highly recommendably when coming with friends or family (theoretically, my apartment could sleep 4 in heavenly beds!)

I met Johan and his son they were easy to deal with and very friendly

Nice apartment, in a traditional style building, only a short tram ride from the central city area. Be prepared to walk up stairs to access the apartment.

The apartment and kitchen were both clean and inviting. Johan offered some posters about the location and a map as well as helpful directions. A fantastic position for visiting the city. The tram ride into town was swift and easy ( line 82). They also had modern TV, with many programs. Nice pizzeria nearby, along with small supermarket (open on sundays) and a butchery.

Johan was really friendly and helpful getting us checked in and providing us with information, maps and leaflets. Gave use some real practical advise. Thankyou! Apartment was well-presented and quirky. Kitchen was clean and well-equipped (although I would have liked a mug for my morning cuppa tea!). Beds were clean and comfortable. Bathroom was spacious and clean. Great location for exploring the city. Tram stops outside the apartment and takes 30 minutes (tram then metro) to get to Grande Place. Parking arranged by Johan for €15 per day, otherwise street parking would have been expensive. Nice pizzeria nearby, along with supermarket, bakery and night shop. Would definitely return.
