| The moment our family stepped into the apartment, we were at awe! Speechless! Wow! Whoa!! Those were the only phrases that came out of our mouths. The view from the apartment was fantastic. The Grand Place on the left and the Atomium on the right. The facilities in the apartment were comparable to none! Everything was fantastic ... broadbant internet, cable tv, washer, tumble dryer, washing machine and the famed Miele Coffee Machine! It was just great. The Edra couch was comfortable. We were very sad to leave. Peter, thanks for sharing this place with us. Will definitely hook up again when in Brussels. Thank you so very very much! |

My husband and I stayed in Peter's Brussels apartment March 30 - April 6, 2009. We had a wonderful time. The location is great! We walked everywhere. If we had wanted to take public transportation it's right there also. There are excellent little restaurants very close to the apartment. As you can see from the photographs, the view is spectacular. We enjoyed having our breakfast looking at panorama of the city. At night we had to choose between music and gazing at the lights of the city or the wide screen TV. The apartment is unique in its design.

We've just returned from a wonderful week at Peter's apartment. It has been a fantastic experience in every way. Fantastic views with glorious sunrises and sunsets. You have thought of everything, Peter. The kitchen was well equipped and there were lots of DVDs and books. And the bed ....... deliciously comfy. We had a problem with the TV on our first day and this was dealt with immediately Peter was aware of it. We appreciated that. We like to cook and were delighted to find that all the shops we needed were only a few minutes' walk away. We didn't need to use public transport at all during the week as the Grand Place was only about 15 minutes' walk away. However, it was wonderful, both when we arrived and when we sadly had to leave, that the metro was only one minute away. We are used to staying in apartments but this really is something different. We would recommend it highly to anybody. Thank you, Peter for letting us share your apartment. We'll be back. We love Brussels.

| We had a great time in the appartment - once you are up there, you don't want to come down again. The views are amazing, particularly at night, when you feel you have the whole of Brussels at your feet. Peter makes you welcome, with a stocked fridge and cupboards you can use and replace. It's a great location - even with children, we walked to Grand Place easily and there are loads of buses or the metro if you don't want to walk. The only downside is having to pay for parking, but that is the city centre for you! |

Hi Peter,
We had a really wonderful time in Brussels -- your
apartment was really wonderful, too....we were so
spoiled by the amazing views from every window
and great chocolate and tasty beer to be found in
the city. We loved the convenience of the location
(so close to the metro!) and visited other cities
(easily) as a result of a great train system.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your beautiful
and artful apartment. We'll certainly recommend
your rental to anyone we know that needs
accommodations there!
Hope all is well and thanks again!
Very best,
Annette Nielsen

The luxury apartment was a treat to stay in. Our 5-year old really enjoyed the extra space, after being cramped in the another apartment in Paris.
We liked how easily accessible the Metro was to the apartment. There is a lot of construction going on in the area, so we didn't spend as much time near the apartment as we typically would have.
Anyone visiting Brussels would have a grand time staying here - definitely recommended. |

Altho the weather in Brussels was gloomy, we had a fantastic time in this wonderful apartment. The view by day and night is breathtaking. The apartment is extremely innovative and different, and everything is available for an extremely comfortable visit. Location is very convenient and walking distance to shopping and even the Grand Place.
Would thoroughly recommend to anyone considering a visit to Brussels. Thanks Peter for use of your wonderful apartment. |

| Just got back from a wonderful week at Peter's apartment in Brussels. We had never before rented an apartment for a vacation, but it worked out wonderfully for us. The location was great, views were fabulous, all amenities were as advertised. The apartment is steps from a Metro station which is a major convenience. However the location is very walkable to the Grand Place and other attractions, including the rail station, so we rarely needed to use the Metro. Market and restaurants within minutes walk. I'm not a coffee drinker, but my husband enjoyed the Miele every morning. The on-site contact person was totally responsive and a great help answering any of our questions. All in all, a very positive experience. |

This was an extrordinary apartment, very unique and one with some thoughtful touches which made this stay unforgettable.
The TV and sound system are wonderful being able to hear music or the tv from anywhere in the apartment was good.
The adjustable couch was very comfortable for sitting or lying on.
The bed was comfotable, the bathroom very nicely decorated and the open plan layout gave a feeling of great space.
The location is excellent within a few mins walk of two small supermarkets and restaurants and a short walk from the metro. Parking was convenient (underneath the apartment block).
The most breathtaking aspect had to be the veiws. A 270 degree view of the city from the 24th floor was absolutely superb day or night. I expect that in summertime the balcony makes this even more enjoyable.
Overall a thoroughlly enjoyable stay. I would definately recommend this apartment, its one of the nicest places I've stayed in (which includes a few 5 star hotels). |

| The apartment is well situated immediately in front of exit 6 of the Madou metro stop on line 2 (the GB Express supermarket only a few metres from this)and about a 15min walk from the Grand Place. The initial reaction is the block is a little tatty but the apartment more than makes up for this. Located on the 24th (of 25) floor the apartment has fantastic unobstructed views on three sides from the Atomium round to the European HQ quarter. The apartment has everything you would need in a spacious, modern setting. The "bedrooms" are not rooms as such but part of an open plan living environment. The Plasma TV, sound system, wireless broadband and coffee machine (I want one!!) are a joy to use and the astro turf covered toilet walls a novelty. All in all a well located, well equipped apartment that was a pleasure to go back to after a days site seeing. One note to those with children - they will love it (the three inflated balls a source of amusement) but don't let them near the terrace - 24 floors up and what seems like shallow guard railings between you and the ground. A very enjoyable stay. |

This apartment is an interesting fusion between architecture and art. In many senses, it is something of a modern art installation that integrates interior and exterior space.Most appropriate for a city with some of the world's most important galleries.
It must be one of the best places from which to see almost the entire city set as it is on the 24 the floor of an apartment about a 15 min walk from the Grand Place.
The views at night are spectacular. On a balmy night, the perfect place for a glass of champagne either inside the apartment or on one of its balconies.
It is fully equipped with all modern devices including wireless broadband and a plasma TV with a multi channel sound system. There is also a fantastic Miele expresso machine that makes truly excelent coffee.
The king sized bed is very comfortable and new , a welcome relief from so many other apartments that seem to feature beds that are well past their use by date.
Peter Bracke was very easy to deal with and his apartment receives my strongest recommendation.

Just stayed at this top floor apartment
in Brussels. Everything was exactly as
described. The view was incredible and
the apartment had good access to the
Madou Metro station which made getting around very easy. Thanks very much Peter! |

| 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! |

| 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 truely has everything you could need. The coffee machine is wonderful! I myself enjoyed watching the LCD TV while rleaxing on the modern couch, surrounded by views of the city on all sides. Thanks for a great stay! |

| We spent a lovely three day weekend at Peter's fantastic apartment. You have never seen anything like it-- so modern, so convenient, so sophisticated-- and the view-- absolutely unbelievable! Peter has thoughtfully provided everything you need for a memorable stay in Brussels. |

We were so delighted with the apartment. We have not been to Brussels in a couple of years and it meant alot to us to return (Sentimental value & lots of good memories). Our visit this time was enhanced by our stay in your apartment. The most fun was actually when we arrived - finding out where everything was. The design of the apartment is quite breathtaking, as is the view.
The coffee was devine, and really gave us a good start to the days when we went shopping and sightseeing (Not that we had to go far from the apartment for either) There were lots of good shops and restaurants within walking distance.
We look forward to returning next year, thanks again Peter,
Best Regards, Bevin |
