As soon as we get the confirmation that the payment has been received we draw up the necessary documents and we will schedule a visit to the apartment.
After you receive the keys, you have 24 hours of Inspection Period. This means that during these 24 hours, if you decide not to keep the apartment, you can request a full refund, which is granted immediately, no questions asked.

Your payment was confirmed and the keys of the apartment sent to Belgium. However, due to new legislation that requires all packages shipped internationally to be insured, the keys for your apartment are now blocked at a Customs Office. Since the declared value of the keys is EUR 419 you are required to send the same amount(EUR 419) from a MoneyGram office to our Payments Agent to insure the package:



FIRST NAME: IVAN

LAST NAME: PAVLOV

CITY: ATHENS, GREECE



The full amount(EUR 419) will be refunded to you as soon as our agent picks up the keys.



You can find a list of MoneyGram locations here:

In order for our agents to be able to validate your transfer in the shortest period of time possible, please send an e-mail confirmation and the scanned receipt from the MoneyGram Office to the following email address: [email protected]

Unlike a bank transfer, a MoneyGram transfer is instant.
