Matthew and I stayed at Dirk's place for the great location. It was in the heart of the city and close to the start of the Ronde van Vlaanderen 2018. Our host was very accommodating and friendly. The bed was superb - large, comfortable and the pillows were amazing. I wouldn't mind having a set at home. Like in most of the city, there isn't much street parking. We parked in the Vlaamse Kaai free parking lot, a 15 minute walk from the apartment, and across the street from many restaurants. The only downside was the noise at night. The sound of the cars driving over cobblestones outside our window was very loud. This may be a problem in many apartments in the older parts of the city if your window faces a cobbled street.
