The essentials in 20 seconds

Before comparing prices: 4 essential questions

1. What are your stay dates? (arrival / departure, flexibility)
2. What is your total budget including charges? (rent + utilities + internet)
3. What type of accommodation are you looking for? (shared housing, studio, apartment…)
4. What is your maximum acceptable commute time? In Brussels, being well connected by public transport often matters more than being in the city center.
