Our little penthouse with panoramic terrace is all you need to get a taste of what Brussels and other northern cities have to offer :-)
The bus 50 (every 15m) stops in front of the building will take you in 5 minutes to the international train station Brussels south station with direct connections to:
- London, Paris, Amsterdam, Lille, Koln
- Every Belgian city worth visiting in less than an hour (Gent, Bruges, antwerp, Namur, Dinant) and the Belgian sea coast in a little more than an hour.
The bus 52 (every 15m) will take you in 20m to Brussels Main square and the whole city center.
You can also walk - it's about an hour walk if you enjoy walking! At night we have a night bus from the center that will take you home every hour or so, so no worries. Ubers aren't expensive if preferred.
The second desk is a standing desk ! You can work on the main table inside, table outside, or couch inside / outside.. as you like.
The flat is on the last floor (6th) and the only other apartment at that level is super ultra quiet. We like peacefulness, but we also love music and cinema - we have a sound system and a projector.
Oh and for nature lovers or hikers, two beautiful city parks (one of the few Brussels got!) are a 5min walk (parc Duden and Parc de Forest. It's nice for walks, jogging, picnics and sun bathing.
If you have any idea of what we could do to improve our home, let us know :-) see ya!!
To better locate the flat, we are 30s walk front from the BERVOETS bus stop in Forest (check Google maps)
