Smartflats City - Manneken Pis

The apartment for 1-2 people is spacious and has all the necessary items .. it’s a little run down in the sense that the tv was laying on the floor and the shower is actually a tub with a hose and no shower curtain but I got used to it but for the price and convenient location I really wasn’t expecting much and this was better than I imagined it would be! The bed was big and comfortable, the windows were nice and large with an excellent view of the city and the little plaza below.. I deducted 1 star only because there was literally no shampoo or conditioner or hairdryer so I needed to go to the convenience store and pick up those toiletries. On the plus it was easy to get to and very close to Grand Place and Mannakin Pis and had an easy to use elevator which I very much appreciated.. I really felt like a local and loved my experience and stay!

Great place at a great price! Generally this was a great stay. It is in a prefect location, a few minutes walk from the Grand Place. The flat is huge. I could see myself renting it for a week or more and working from the place. And the price was amazing - less than half the price of most hotels in the area. The place was clean, and the bed was quite comfortable. The furniture and decor were great. I only have two complaints. First, they gave me the wrong code for the door. I spent several minutes thinking I was doing it wrong, and i finally called them. It took a few tries to get through, but they were able to get me the correct code over the phone. It took me about 15 minutes longer than it should have to get in, but not a big deal in the end. Secondly, there are a few things in teh flat that need fixing. The hot water heater was not workig when I arrived. There was a note on it (in French) stating how to relight the pilot light. Google translate helped me figure this out, but I did struggle a bit to get it lit. After that it worked great. The toilet also had a slow leak that ran water much of the night. I finally turned off the water supply as the sound was annoying and was waking me up. Anyway, those things were minor and I highly recommend this place if you are looking for an affordable place with lots of space. Also - if you rent, check your spam folder for the email with details on how to check in!

The only positive thing was the location. Part of the promised stuff was not there (no kitchen linnen e.g.) Even no mirror in the bathroon and no hot water for more then half of the stay of 4 days. Communication aboit that was really poor. The telephone which we could use was out of reach. Very smart?? No, one of the poorest stays we ever had!
