In House Hunters International season 151 episode 11 titled "Love and Work in Brussels", viewers are taken on a journey through the beautiful city of Brussels as a couple searches for their dream home. The couple, Monica and Nigel, are both professionals who work near the city center and love the bustling vibe of Brussels. However, they currently reside in a cramped and outdated apartment and they are eager to upgrade to a larger, modern home.

Monica, a lawyer, and Nigel, a humanitarian worker, are both busy professionals who need a home that is both spacious and close to their workplaces. Monica adds that they also want a home that has character and charm, and she shares her love of interior design with the audience.
The couple hires a local real estate agent, Christine, who takes them to view three different properties in various neighborhoods around Brussels. The first property they view is in the area of Etterbeek, which is known for its tree-lined streets and parks. The apartment is newly renovated and has a spacious living room, two bedrooms, and a gorgeous kitchen. The couple is initially impressed with the apartment, but Christine reveals that it is not within their budget. Monica and Nigel are disappointed but agree to keep searching for the perfect place.
The second property Christine takes them to is located in the trendy neighborhood of Saint-Gilles.

The apartment has a large living space and two bedrooms, but Monica and Nigel feel that it lacks character and charm. They decide to keep looking, hoping to find a space that feels more like a home.
The final property they view is a stunning townhouse located in the Belgian city of Namur. The townhouse has three floors, four bedrooms, and a spacious living area, making it a perfect fit for the couple's needs. Christine shows Monica and Nigel each room and they are both impressed with the layout and design of the space. But with Namur being almost an hour away from Brussels, Christine reminds the couple that they would have a long commute to work every day. Monica and Nigel appreciate Christine's honesty, but ultimately decide that the townhouse is too far away from their jobs.
At the end of the episode, Monica and Nigel are faced with the difficult decision of choosing a property.
