Unique 1-bedroom apartment for rent near Forest Park in Saint Gilles

This 2-bedroom apartment to rent on Rue de Bosnie is a split-level space on the 2nd floor. Opening the front door puts you in a small vestibule that leads to a rather raw-looking bathroom space, as well as the bedroom, which is furnished with a big double bed, large wardrobe and chest of drawers. A narrow ladder staircase in the bedroom area takes you upstairs to the attic, which you can use as storage or re-purpose for another use. The wood floors are fantastic, and it extends into the adjoining living area, which is quite sunny. In this room, you’ll find a 2-seat dining table and sofa bed, as well as a larger table that can be used as a desk. This space also has a door leading to the roomy and equipped kitchen.

Saint Gilles is only a 10-minute public transportation ride from downtown Brussels. You can walk it in roughly 40 minutes, if you enjoy stretching your legs. However, you are just far enough away to be out of the tourist traffic. Forest Park is merely 8 minutes away when you feel like a picnic. And the Maisons des Cultures, which is a museum space that hosts various activities, is only 7 minutes from your apartment. There are a half dozen or so cafés and restaurants in your block alone, and the bakery is just a minute away. And when it’s time to shop for groceries, you can just go downstairs and cross the street!
