Why can it be difficult to find Erasmus accommodation in Brussels?
Brussels welcomes a large number of international students, interns, and young people on temporary mobility every year. As a result, demand for furnished accommodation is high. When searching from abroad, several questions quickly arise:
Is the neighborhood convenient for my university or internship?
Is the price reasonable for the Brussels market?
Are the conditions clear and without surprises?
Is the accommodation suitable for a stay of a few months?
Is the accommodation reliable and verified before booking?
Is there a trusted local contact in case of any issue?
