Being a clueless American, when it said 3rd floor I didn’t think the first level would start at zero. The stairs were very steep and very small. If you have a suitcase that weighs a lot, you may have trouble balancing it while you enter the code to unlock the door. There is no landing, you literally step from the stairs right into the apartment.it was a cute, clean apartment. On our last day we had a mouse run across the floor, but he disappeared and all was good. It is located above shops and bars so if you come on the weekend, bring war plugs. The Belgians know how to party.
