Superb character duplex in the European district

Spacious 2 bedroom duplex on the ground floor of a charming house, typically Brussels with a garden on the street side and a small private garden at the back of the house. The house is located very close to the European Parliament and the Museum of Natural Sciences.
The apartment has just been completely renovated and comfortably furnished.
It is located 200 meters from the 'trendy' square in Luxembourg and 300 meters from the Place Jourdan where there are many activities and restaurants, supermarkets and small local shops open at night. Very important communications node.
Possibility of adding an additional bedroom in the basement (typically Brussels), just adjacent to the apartment and where can comfortably accommodate 2 additional people, with cable TV, separate individual WC and double bed.
(See photos of the basement on the site).
The additional room is optional (30 € / night) but compulsory for groups of more than 7 people. Payable in cash upon arrival.

The price decreases according to the duration of the accommodation and the price is planned for 2 people, supplement of 15 € / night per additional person.
It can perfectly suit a group of friends, large families (possibilities to accommodate 8 to 9 people) wishing to meet for exceptional events or to visit Belgium, a group working with the nearby European institutions.
Also ideal for expatriate families (special prices on request) looking for long-term accommodation for installation. We could also gladly help you in this process given our knowledge of Brussels).
Arrival possible after 10 p.m. but supplement of 30 Euros.
We have two parking spaces 180 meters from the house that we rent each with an additional € 10/24 hours if necessary.
Dogs and cats welcome (30 € extra).

Gorgeous Home
Stayed one night and wish I had stayed longer. House is gorgeous. Clean and modern kitchen and bathroom. Comfortable couch in a beautiful room. Private outdoor space was picturesque. Location was walkable and the natural history museum is at the end of the street. Would be a great house for families. My husband and I stayed with our two adult sons and were more than comfortable. Check in was easy and host met us at door and welcomed us in, showing us around and giving local recommendations.

A Lovely Flat with Character
A quaint historical flat in a location close to plenty of restaurants, bars, and Brussels historical sights. We met Caroline when we arrived, and she was very nice and helpful. The apartment was very quiet, and has a lovely private garden out back where we enjoyed our morning coffee (with the large Belgian slugs that like to visit!). The kitchen is well-appointed and had everything we needed, and it was great to have access to laundry facilities in the basement. Beds were fine, but pillows were pretty thin/uncomfortable (which we found pretty much throughout Europe). We loved the character of the place, but there are just a few things to know: 1) the only bathroom in down the (very) creaky stairs, although it is a very nice bathroom; 2) you only have one key, and the key must be used to lock from both the inside and outside - this meant that when my spouse and I went for a walk, we had to lock our son inside the flat (while he slept), and he had no way to get out while we were gone!; 3) probably not usually an issue, but we were there during a few hot Belgian days, and there are no opening windows in the main floor bedroom, and almost no air flow - so it was very sticky trying to sleep the first night or two.

Très bel appartement luxueux
Le séjour fut très agréable. Les lieux sont un ancien appartement totalement restauré dans un ensemble luxueux. L'appartement est très grand et offre un très bon cadre de vie, excellente isolation et très bien situé (proche de la gare, accès au musée des Sciences naturelles et aéroport). Certains accessoires de base ne sont cependant pas fournis (essuie-tout, savon) et nous avons constaté des petites odeurs au niveau de la salle de bain. Sinon le reste est excellent !

Great apartment and location
We stayed at the property for 4 nights and had a fantastic stay. The apartment was great and due to it being so close to the train station, we were also able to explore Brussels and Ghent. Lots of bars and restaurants close by too. We would stay again.

Quaint accommodation
I had booked this a year in advance and asked about securing the third room for our party (mostly for the second bathroom). I was unclear about the layout and asked about that as well. After a year of periodic messaging and not receiving any response, I finally confirmed the third room right before our arrival. After all of that, the third room was locked upon our arrival therefore necessitating the use of the sofa bed (which there were no linens), and we did not have access to the extra bathroom. This was resolved by the next day. The layout should be clarified. This is a shared space. There are several floors with several rooms. This space is located inside the front door, and on that level, there is a quaint living room, nice kitchen, bedroom, and great outdoor space. From there, down a winding staircase, is a bedroom and bath / shower. The third room is through the front door and up the stairs. This room includes a bedroom / toilet room. It is a separate space. The washer and dryer are in the basement, which appeared to be a shared space. The dryer was stuffed with damp towels and there were piles of linens, that I was not sure if they were clean or not, when I was trying to locate linens for the sofa bed. I really liked the location, and overall, the apartment was nice. I did not feel that the communication was good and feel that the listing should be clearer in explaining the layout, especially if there are mobility issues for guests or families with young children.

Wonderful stay and highly recommend
Our family had a wonderful stay at this accommodations in Brussels. The home was very close to the parliament building and within walking distance of the palace. There were many restaurants and supermarkets also within walking distance. The home was well equipped to be able to make some dinners at home. Our host was very kind and helpful and she communicated with us throughout the process. We would highly recommend this home to anyone.

First trip to Brussels
We had a wonderful stay here. We travelled with 8 people - 2 seniors, 4 adults, a teen and a child. It was a great location, within walking distance of many sites and restaurants, and transportation close by. There was a lovely garden out back too. Washroom was on lower level, stairs to navigate. Something to consider with seniors. Would definitely stay again!

Left the property due to one bed being unusable
Unfortunately, when we came to make up the sofa bed for our son about 10 minutes after we arrived, we noticed lots of what I thought were bed bug faeces. I immediately contacted the host to say that we wouldn't be staying as a result. The host sent her cleaner to investigate and we waited to show her the problem. The cleaner looked with us and stated that it wasn't bed bugs, it was the faeces of a mouse. This didn't change our decision to leave. I wasn't prepared to put my son to bed or to sleep myself on a bed with mouse faeces on the mattress. We left about 20 minutes after we arrived so I can't comment on anything else about the property. I asked the host to agree to a refund but she declined. Thankfully, vrbo investigated and refunded us based on our photos (which I don't seem to be able to upload here). We were with 2 older relatives and 2 very young children. Leaving the property created inconvenience and additional cost since a last minute hotel was the only option at that point. We wouldn't have done that unless absolutely necessary.
