What are the best flatsharing platforms in Brussels?

[Laura_Hall]

I’m a PhD student moving to Brussels to take up residence with all the other international expats ;). A friend of a friend told me that finding a flatshare in Brussels is not easy at all.
Can anyone give me a basic breakdown of the flatsharing process in Brussels and clue me up on the best sites to find listings! Thanks!

Hi Laura, the housing market here does move very quickly but it's still possible to find good deals if you move fast as well. You can find some stuff on Airbnb and other official flatshare sites but they tend to be way overpriced. What I and my friends use are the many Facebook groups setup for flatsharing purposes. Some of the best groups to join include:

Desperate people looking for a room in Brussels
Samenhuizen/Co-housing Brussel(s)
Rooms in Brussels
Colocation Bruxelles Pour Travailler
Bruxelles à louer
Wonen in Brussel
BXL à louer - de bouche à oreilles

Sorry I'm answering far later than useful for you; I just joined. I hope you found something great!

Hi Laura, Hi all,

I joined Teleport a couple of months ago and just saw your question... far too late unfortunately :-(.

Indeed, Appartager or the other Facebook groups mentioned are good solutions to browse within many offers for flatshares.

If you're still interested in a houseshare or coliving space, or for those who are looking for that type of accommodation solutions, I'd like to introduce here a solution of our own: Cohabs.

At Cohabs, we create and provide convenient and flexible accommodation solutions through beautiful, friendly and community-driven shared homes in urban areas for young professionals. We specifically designed the houses for the needs of our tenant and we manage them ourselves, ensuring high quality services.

There are a few other solutions now as well so don't hesitate to look on Google.

If you're interested, just visit our website: www.cohabs.com.

Many thanks,

Cheers,

François
