“We had a wonderful long weekend staying in Dani and Raf's beautiful, comfortable and well stocked flat. They were easy to communicate with , very helpful with instructions and left us lots of Brussels goodies. The flat is in a great part of town and we wished we could have stayed longer - there was so much to see and do. So I hope we'll be back one day and in the meantime look forward to welcoming Dani and Raf in Spain.”

Dani & Raf's reviews
As a host (7)“We had a great simultaneous swap with Dani & Raf. They are amazing hosts and wonderful guests. Their place is well located, stylish, clean and comfortable. Dani has thought of everything and made us feel very welcome. Great communication, tips and neighborhood walking tour map! Thank you Dani & Raf! ”
“What a wonderful home! We had such a lovely experience in Brussels and this was definitely due to the gorgeous, perfectly located home of Dani & Raf; lovely warm people, easy to communicate with and so generous. If you have any doubts about where to stay I would urge you to try to arrange a swap here. It's easy to get to everything you want to see and experience and going back 'home' was a joy. Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality and I hope you get to use your points somewhere equally amazing :) Jane ”
“We had such a wonderful time in Bruxelles. Dani and Raf are such a great hosts and the house is beautiful with everything you might need. They thought about everything and made us feel very welcome. Perfect location close by restaurants, beautiful shops and metro. Thank you so much. ”
“Dani and Raf were just sent from heaven! They were so happy and easy to swap with. The agreed of the trip was easy and fast. All the instructions to get in were great and easy, no problem whatsoever at all... it was my first simultaneous trip, so it was very exciting. The property location is perfect! We were super close to the antique market which is exactly we're we wanted to go. And you can make great day walks to the grand place. Also you can walk all the way to the gare du zuid and have a nice day trip to any town you would like to visit . Very nice experience, they are great lovely couple. And the place is perfect, comfortable, clean ... just great!!”
“We stayed in Dani and Raf's apartment for a weekend in November. We've enjoyed it a lot! Communicating with Dani & Raf was very swift and easy. Unfortunately we did not meet each other as this was a simultaneous exchange, but they left the keys at a restaurant around the corner which gave us a wide time window to arrive. The appartement was in one word lovely! The living room gives a royal feeling while the rest of the appartement is very cozy. The location is really good, city center is within 15 minute walking distance. In their neighbourhood are a plenty cafe's and restaurants close to the appartement. Peck 20, which is in the same street towards the shopping area, is a perfect place for a delicious breakfast :). We had no expectations coming into Brussels, but we were positively surprised. Dani and Raf left a map of Brussels with a walking route to follow so we could visit the highlights in a short time. This was very thoughtful and ended up being very handy. Brussels is a beautiful city to stroll around and visit lots of vintage and antique shops. Thanks a lot Dani and Raf for your hospitality and the opportunity to discover Brussels from a special location. We would love to exchange again in the future! Cheers, Martijn & Alyssa from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. ”
“We had such a lovely break in Brussels and stay at Dani & Raf's home before Christmas! It was a pleasure to arrange and Dani was super helpful with everything. The apartment is beautiful and homely, and Dani & Raf even treated us to chocolate treats and belgian beers for our stay. The location is perfect for anyone arriving via Eurostar like us especially as it's walkable in 15-20mins, we also took a day trip to Bruges! (you must checkout Bistro Bruut - it's AMAZING!) The apartment location is perfect for many local bars/restaurants as well as getting into central and we walked everywhere as much as we could as well as the trams being a few mins away. Great restaurants around the corner (we hope to come back to go to some of them we didn't book tables in time - get Dani's recommendations early!) as well as a short walk from The Marolles which is a fab, eclectic area to eat, wander, and explore. We loved our trip and the apartment and hope to come back! Thank you for having us! ”
