What is it like to live here according to the Landlord?

Bright furnished single bedroom apartment on the first floor. Excellent for a couple or a single person. In a marvelously renovated “maison de maître” style house with high ceilings. The house is a listed historical building. The apartment is composed of: • Large bedroom with a queensize boxspring • Living (new sofa, cable TV, WIFI, videophone, ambience color led lights) • Spacious super equipped kitchen (fridge, oven, cooktop, microwave, Nespresso coffee-machine, toaster, water-heater, dishwasher, washing machine) • Back has a southeast orientation with view on protected park area (nobody opposite looking into your home)

Spotahome's opinion

Previously owned by Belgian artist Armand Massonet, the renovated building of this 1-bedroom apartment to rent on Rue de la Source is unique and spectacular. An eccentric detail, but your WC is located on the stairwell leading to your apartment. It’s got a flat screen TV, though! Original details like wood floors, iron radiators and fireplaces (although decorative) have been preserved. However, everything is contemporary, warm and comfortable. The spacious bedroom has a small balcony with a street view and another small room with a ladder to a double bed in a loft. However, there is a desk and chair here, so you can use the space as an office. There is a double sink in the bathroom, and a nice big tub, too. The fully equipped kitchen with a 6-seat table is unbelievable. With a high ceiling and three French doors overlooking a terrace below, you might be spending a lot of time in here.

Rue de la Source is a pretty amazing place of its own right, with lots of interesting examples of Gothic Revival and Art Deco buildings. It’s also a very culturally active and diverse neighborhood, and it shows in all the restaurants and small stores you’ll find in the vicinity. It’s no wonder that Saint-Gilles is also considered the center of Brussels student life. If you want to get away from the bustle, Pierre Paulus Park is only a 5-minute walk from your front door, and if you want to get further into the bustle, the high-end stores of Avenue Louise are just 5 minutes away in the opposite direction.

What we liked the most

  • There are a couple of eccentricities that make the apartment fun, and a few details from the original building have been retained, which makes the space even more special.
  • With three French doors overlooking a terrace garden, the modern and equipped kitchen is a foodie dream come true.
  • The apartment is close to at least three art galleries and another few museums.
  • Tram, metro and bus lines are all within a short walk.
