Photos and Description of this Brussels holiday apartment 2 Bedrooms - 1 Bathroom - sleeps 5

'People living in the upper parts of very high buildings have more intense sensations than other people. The hours, the seasons, nature are closer to them. The sun, the wind, the rain, the clouds have a much closer impact on them. They are both from the earth and from the sky.' This sentence, originating in the constructive optimism of the thirties describes in part the specific charm of this conceptual apartment. Designed by a young but renown Belgian architect in the latter nineties on an existing unit from 1968 with a very clear idea in mind which he called maxFUS. Modular blocks on wheels are the walls inside the apartment. 'Put everything needed for living and working in the walls to obtain maximum FUS meaning free undefined space. Open parts of the walls for living or working. Close the walls afterwards to re maximize FUS. Minimize furniture to maximize FUS (free unidentified space). Help to minimalism furniture by double or triple use: use benches for sitting and sleeping.

Further details for this holiday apartment rental in Brussels, Belgium

Fine Living Show: This property has featured in a TV show on the fine Living channel in the US in 2006 It also featured in numerous Belgian magazines and news-papers not to forget on Belgian TV (VTM)

Feedback: Great apartment, excellent location (literally a minute away from the Metro station and within easy walking distance of the city center), fantastic views. We are an active bunch, aiming to be out and about as much as possible, and this was a rare occasion where we enjoyed our time indoors almost as much as our time spent exploring the city. Thanks! Ilya Burlak, London - 2/16/2007

Art-work: My wife and I enjoyed a lovely weekend stay in November in this high rise apartment that occupies two corners of a building with amazingly unobstructed views in almost every direction. The view is just fantastic, the bed is quite comfortable, the location is good, and the apartment truly has everything you could need. The coffee machine is wonderful! I myself enjoyed watching the LCD TV while relaxing on the modern couch, surrounded by views of the city on all sides. Thanks for a great stay! Dimitri, Germany - 11-11-2006

Ski: Your apartment was fantastic, the view from all the huge windows was breath-taking. It was also very well situated, walking distance from the old city-center and buses and metro right outside. We didn't have any trouble to find parking place either. We liked the apartment so much, that many evenings we preferred to have dinner at home and watch TV or a film. And the bed, I have never in my life slept in such a comfortable bed. Regards Annina - Finland - December 2005 PS : note from owner : since some time free parking has become difficult - meters everywhere but parking provided under the building at 16 Euro per 24 hours.

Golf: Dear Peter, Thank you so much for the chocolates-delicious. Really enjoying the apartment - so cleverly designed and, as usual, great artwork. Naoma Foreman - USA - May 2006

La Tête dans les Nuages

Ottawa Ottawa, Canada
Review Submitted: October 10, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
Central location, close to the metro, wonderful view, good coffee machine. Shabby looking building, undergoing renovations (Sept '08), with consequent noise, dust & difficult access. Lifts weren't available when we came to leave. Apart from some sketchy looking characters hanging around, the immediate neighbourhood is pretty good, with restaurants, bars & music just down the street.

A nice stay in Brussels

ona03 Fußgönheim/Germany
Review Submitted: June 1, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We had a nice stay in Brussels over the Easter-holidays in this appartment, which is fully, really fully equipped, very near to the center/Grande Place (walking distance). A bright view over Brussels and its illumination during nighttime.
If you suffer a bit under vertigo, you have to get accustomed to the height and the large window glass front, which might be dangerous for small kids, because there is partly no outside protection, when you open one or the other window. Don't worry about the required safety deposit, which was a new experience for me, you do get it back! Another new experience was the very early check-out time of 09.00 a.m., for each hour later you are charged € 20.-/hour! The flat is an open plan and if you are more than two, you have to be very familiar with each other. All in all, a very recommendable flat. If something wrong, owner trying his best to be of helpfull assistance, even in the evening.

Excellent week in Brussels

BethJ New York, NY
Review Submitted: April 11, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
My husband and I spent an excellent week in Brussels in Peter's apartment. The view is spectacular both day and night and the apartment is very comfortable. We walked everywhere and found the location extremely convenient. It would have been easy to take public transportation, but we love to walk. We found some wonderful little restaurants and loads of shops as well as the museums and wonderful architecture and monuments. Peter and the on-site person Andre could not have been more helpful and pleasant. I didn't ask if it was a pet-friendly apartment, so I didn't check that box. As the weather was beautiful, we didn't spend much time inside, but it was wonderful to have the big tv with a supply of movies as well as an excellent sound system for our few evenings at home.
Thank you Peter and Andre for a terrific week in your charming city!
Beth
Owner's Response: Hi Beth, Thank you for your enthousiastic comment. I'm glad you had a wonderful time in Brussels and we hope to welcome you again later. Peter

View: incredible (100+)
Situation: close enough (90)
Ambiance: total enjoyment (100)



Having visited Brussels on a regular basis for the last 4 years, meeting Peter & his apartment opened up another dimension regarding this fascinating city. The height (24 stories) not only lifts the soul but a view like this brings a being closer to the area & the elements. I spent most of my time playing music & absorbing the 180o view after a stressful day at work. Truly unique in every aspect.  Thx.
