I truly enjoyed my stay in the little garden cottage. I slept very well, and it was amazingly quiet. The shower was terrific with water pressure and temperature, and I had all that I needed to prepare simply meals.
I enjoyed listening to records on a couple of evenings, and the internet was good, as I taught a morning class.
The location is incredible. I easily navigated Ghent and then came back to the cottage for a quick refresh and then out again or for a nap. Mechiel and Heleen were always quick to answer questions, and they know all of the great places for food, coffee, and sweets!
I appreciated the fruit in the kitchen, as I was hungry and tired upon arrival, and it was the perfect snack.
As a middle aged woman, I did not have any problems with the stairs, but I made sure that I was not distracted when using them and did it carry many things in my hands. I made a rule to only go down backwards like a ladder, with my right hand always on the rail. This worked perfectly, even when tired.
The table in the garden was perfect for sitting for breakfast or tea! I hope to return here again sometime. They were lovely hosts, and I enjoyed the cottage with natural light and eclectic decor!
