Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Spacious place with horrible amenities.
Located in a very convenient location and a spacious apartment. Its a pitty that they don't pay attention to small but important details to make it a pleasent stay. Bathroom has a half and leaking screen which leaves it like a swimming pool deck after a bath. No changing of towels leaves you with a wet floor mats. Coffe maker is available but no coffee or cream. No AC, No TV but a TV box is available. No elevator with a pitch black staircase (you need a flash light to see wherer you are going). The list can go on and on. .No direct communication with the property. Didn't expect to find such a sloppy place in Hotels.com

Dirty and bad maintenance what a shss as mr.
Poorly maintained and dirty…. Filthy bathroom floors covered in lime scale and white sludge around shower and toilet. Mould on shower and all inside dishwasher. Curtain ripped off wall and disgusting stains (sex stains looked like all over the gold down sofa. Dark and dangerous entry without any lights for the first two floors of narrow staircase. Had to carry heavy bags up four floors up steep narrow stairs in pitch black for the first two flights. No aircon or fan and it was hot. Such a shame as the layout and area is great and if the owners had put any effort in cleaning and maintaining it would have been had been awesome. But I was very disappointed and pretty grossed out by it.

Disappointed
An absolute catastrophe. On arrival the ground floor lights did not work so had to find our way in the pitch black. Used the elevator which got stuck between floors, thereafter had to walk five floors each day. The apartment had windows and/or blinds that did not work correctly, no shower gel, a toilet seat that was not attached properly and the dishwasher did not work. Worst of all when we tried to use the dishwasher it blew the fuses and we were left without electricity for the last 24 hours (even after being told twice by support that it would be sorted). Completely ruined a visit to Belgium. Strongly advise against using this approach.

Stay away from this property! I am shocked Expedia is listing such properties. We asked for one sofa bed, and the sofa in the room had such a big sag, that we couldn’t use it, the lights in the room were flickering. Also, there are no elevators in the property if you have any heavy luggage - you have to carry it on the dark spiral stairs to all 4-5 floors by yourself. The only mode of communication with them is a private chat app. When we mentioned about the problems, they asked us to send an email with the video, which no one ever replied back. When we asked again on the chat, we got the reply that problems are reported to the relevant department. After that no updates during the entire stay. This place should not be listed on any major booking portals until the owner fixes the property and guarantee a customer service.

It was the perfect location for the Christmas markets! However it definitely needs more maintenance the toilet seat was broken and the blinds did not roll down. We also had a random man with a hood trying to access our room at 6am which was scary especially with three young girls inside! This made me feel unsafe.

The good: spacious room in a great location with a beautiful view. The bad: Lounge for luggage drop off while we waited for check in did not exist. We drove there and nearby business said it closed down. Moldy shower, shower soap empty, cheap broken toilet seat, rusty broken trash can, stains on bedsheets, stains on couch, ELEVATOR BROKEN, stairwell had NO light to see, our "4th floor" from was actual 6 levels above the street. Dangerous and exhausting with our luggage. We expected more from this place...

For the price I paid (nearly $300/night), I expected much more. First, the good stuff: - Very nice location. That's why I booked it in the first place. - Very spacious. There's very little in the apartment but after being couped up in an Amsterdam hotel for 2 days, this was a great change. - Check-in was a breeze. We got a code and it was easy to use. Now the bad: - The apartment was obviously not cleaned well. There were bread crumbs on the dining table, crumbs on the carpet and stains on the sofa and **towels**! - Despite booking for 2 adults and 2 kids, we only got 2 sets of towels. I called them and they claimed I booked for 2 people. I have the expedia entry that says otherwise. Kids need towels too!! They told me they will call me back but they never did. - Hot water ran out only after a 5-min shower. We had to wait in turns until the water heated up to take showers. - Water pressure is uneven in many faucets. On some, water just trickles. - Summer season visitors, beware. There's no AC (see another review which points to the same problem). - I kid you not. About 1 hour after we checked in, a repair guy showed up and said he came to check on a few things. We had luggage lying around and everything. Should that not be done in between stays? He replaced a bulb, unclogged a bath drain and checked on the water heater. While I was grateful, it was a very odd experience. Overall, I would not recommend. It is places like this that make me want to stay in hotels

Apartment is just fine. However I needed an extra towel and was refused because they were fully booked. I really didn't like the communication with the company and I'd definitely not recommend this apartment. Towel did arrive, after two days of communication with staff.

Great Locaion, but in need of some Maintenance
The apartment is located right on the Grand Sablon within walking distance to lots of cafes. Close to Grand Place and Brussels Centraal Station. The beds were extremely conformable. But, the apartment is starting to look a little run down and is in need of some general maintenance.

The property was in a great location, and the amenities were first-rate. Overall we enjoyed staying here and it was much better than staying in a hotel. There were, however, a couple of gripes; Firstly, the apartment is looking a bit ragged around the edges and could do with a good re-fresh. The table in the bedroom has seen better days and is stained on the surface, and one of the blinds in that room did not work. In the living room, one of the stools was broken and although it was still usable you ran the risk of cutting yourself if you picked it up to move it. On the Friday morning (having arrived the afternoon before) I phoned to say that 3 of the lights were not working and when we left on Monday they had still not been repaired.

Not clean on arrival, not prepared for hot weather
Arrived for check in at 3pm, and the apartment had not been cleaned from the previous guests. We dealt with less than friendly or compassionate staff on the phone (up to 10 phone calls with multiple hang-ups), and were made to wait >1hr for the cleaning staff to arrive and clean it. They emailed after and offered a late check-out as an apology (we had a 7am train so not much use to us). The apartment is completely inappropriate for a summer visit. There is no fan or air conditioning, and it is impossible to open the windows due to 1) The bright lights from the street, 2) the loud traffic and noise from the street, and 3) the abundance of mosquito's - we were been bitten alive. We did not sleep at all for the 2 nights we were there. When we emailed the customer service team to request a fan after our first night, they were dismissive and kindly thanked us for our understanding for Belgium's unseasonably warm weather. We wrote back explaining our disappointment and discomfort, again requesting a fan or mosquito coil, but we never heard back from them. A real shame as the apartment was lovely (once cleaned), and is in an excellent location.
