General overview
Our home is a 5-storey townhouse in the vibrant area of St Gilles, one of the best neighborhoods in Brussels! Our area is full of cafés, restaurants, independent shops and is really well connected for downtown. It’s a great base for Brussels and Belgium, and with Brussels being only an hour and 20 from Paris and a couple of hours from Amsterdam, a great base for some exploring beyond Belgium too.
The space
Our living area is open and really lovely - the kitchen, dining area and living room flow into each other. The house is big- there are 6 bedrooms - 5 of which have double beds - and the children’s room has a single bed and a single mattress that can be pulled out if needed. The 4 bathrooms/shower rooms (2 en-suite) mean there is a lot of privacy and facilities for a big family. This would be perfect for one big family or two average families.
Guest access
There are 4 actual floors and steeper steps up to the attic room, so five floors and lots of stairs - this is not accessible for wheelchairs unfortunately.
Notes
We have a garden With a patio at the end of it to enjoy.
