If you're going to make me sleep in an attic...

...make it clear that my room is an attic! 1. Had to call the owner for access to the building. My check in email with the info didn't arrive until 19h15! 2. There were 85 steps up to the room, including the final set that was steep, narrow, and turned 90 degrees. Not easy for luggage! 3. None of the room photos was of the "attic hideaway". A person can only stand in the centre of the roughly 20' x 10' room (including the stair hatch). I don't object to renting an attic with torn carpet and a foam mattress on the floor if I know that's what I'm getting! 4. Mould on the bathroom tiles. 5. No TV in the room. No TV in the common area.

If you want to get off the tourist grid and mix it up with the locals, this place is for you. If you have any health issues with stairs, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Information about the area

Brussels, Belgium

With a stay at Chic Cocoon in Brussels (Sint-Gillis), you'll be a 3-minute drive from Avenue Louise and 7 minutes from La Grand Place. This guesthouse is 2.1 mi (3.4 km) from European Union Parliament Building and 2.6 mi (4.2 km) from Brussels Christmas Market.

From its breathtaking medieval centre to its 21st-century temple to Surrealism, the new Magritte Museum, Brussels offers the visitor a great deal more than just beer and chocolate and is resoundingly unlike its unfortunate staid image as the home of EU bureaucrats. Indeed, Brussels is a creative, dynamic city. Its compact city centre is clustered with bars, restaurants and museums set along cobbled streets. Inevitably, most tourists head to the Grand-Place. With its ornate Flemish guild houses, impressive Town Hall and buzzing atmosphere, it would be difficult to find a more beautiful square in the whole of Europe. It deservedly is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is the city’s crowning jewel. Wander next to the nearby Royal and Sablon districts teeming with art galleries and antique shops. Throw away your map and meander down a myriad side streets, discovering flea markets, art-deco houses and boutique stores. The Bruxellois take pride in their self-effacing, intellectual sense of humour, underpinned by a strong appreciation of the bizarre. The city has a long-running love affair with the Surrealist art movement, pioneered by René Magritte, and with classic comic strips, epitomised by Hergé's boy hero, Tintin. There's a telling irony in the fact that the city's best-known landmark is the Manneken-Pis, a tiny statuette of a urinating boy. Meanwhile, all of this sits alongside world-class collections of art, fabulous cooking including mussels, frites, waffles and whelks, some of Europe’s best and unique beers (literally, there are thousands of varieties), and master-chocolatiers. The city’s cultural calendar is packed with events for everyone from the massive, raucous Foire du Midi street fair every July teeming with stalls and fairground attractions to the legendary Christmas Market that takes centre stage in the Place Sainte Catherine with 240 stalls, a skating rink, a big wheel, and numerous rides. One of the biggest events is Art Brussels, showcasing the city’s edgier, creative side and a hub for art connoisseurs from around the globe. If you’re a Euro-loving national, check out the European Quarter, centered around Schuman and the Berlaymont. Its liveliest part is the Place du Luxembourg: all its bars fill up around 6pm on week days with some of the 20,000 diplomats, politicians and civil servants who reside in the city after Brussels became the centre of international political following WWII. Open your eyes and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by all that Brussels has to offer.
