This place exceeded all of our expectations. The rooms are large, airy, light and beautifully decorated and furnished. The terrace is large and ideal for a sunny breakfast or a cool evening drink. The rear of the flat is in a quiet passage, the front on a pedestrian shopping street. The whole place is well equipped for 2 couples - if the weather had not been so fabulous we would have been happy to have had to spend more time in the apartment itself.
Isabelle kindly let us leave our luggage past the normal check out time which made our last morning much easier. Excellent place and excellent hosts.
Gent itself is a wonderful destination for a long weekend - we thought we might need to go further afield to fill our weekend but at the end of four days we still had plenty left to do so we'll have to go back. There are so many bars and restaurants, historic sights and boat trips. We hired bikes one day (tip - you'll need Id, passport not driving licence) and cycled out to the museums/citadel park. So easy, and lovely cycling alongside the waterways. We bought Gentcard passes which are 72 hour cards that let you on almost any form of transport, boat trips, museums and sights and one day's cycle hire. These were seriously good value for money for us and highly recommended. One of the best 4 days ever!
