A great, bustling part of Ghent, but in a tiny quiet side street. There may be some conversational noise from other homes in the area when windows are open, as this is a dense, historic area with lots of tiny narrow houses.
Easy, charming historic walks to cafes, buses, trams, incredible landmarks, canals, etc. An amazing part of this historic city.
But this is less a whole home, and more a self-contained room with separate, private bathroom on another floor (note: this is a tall, narrow historic house, so each ‘floor’ is a room). This means you may/will run into adult family members if they are home.
The bathroom is spacious and nicely renovated, and the main room is a generous size with good amenities.
It is an attic, so it can be very hot on 30+* days.
View from the windows is lovely.
There are lots of tight stairs, so this is not a good place if you have a weak heart :D
Els was a prompt and very helpful host.
