Advantages and disadvantages of sharing a flat in Brussels

Here are some of the pros and cons of living in a shared flat in Brussels:

Advantages of sharing a flat in Brussels

  • Brussels has long, dark winters and frequent rain, which can affect your mood. Having roommates to share your daily life can make these gloomy days more pleasant.
  • Sharing a flat saves you money on rent, leaving you extra cash to travel to nearby cities like Paris, London, and Amsterdam.
  • With the lower cost of sharing a flat, you might afford a place in a more central or better-connected neighbourhood compared to renting an entire apartment.

Disadvantages of sharing a flat in Brussels

  • Your room will be the only space entirely your own. Make sure to decorate it and create a comfortable environment, especially if you value alone time.
  • Some apartments are well-maintained and renovated, but others may not be in as good condition.
  • Many shared flats in Brussels don’t come with a washing machine, which can be an inconvenience.
