We were in Gent for the second time during our belgium vacation and used this apartment mainly to make trips to other cities.
Since it was close to the train station it is ideal for this, unfortunately it had some construction sites in the area. Due to the construction sites it was noisy early in the morning and the windows had to be closed. Also the way to the
Station was a bit longer and not all buses ran regularly.
The apartment itself offered more than enough space for our family of 5 and since the checkin runs through the ibis hotel, it was possible 24 hours. Also for drinks or breakfast you can fall back on the ibis hotel.
For a city visit to Ghent, I would recommend an apartment near the center, as it is about 20 minutes away on foot.
