I stayed at Sofie's for the last seven weeks. This was my very first Air BnB experience, and it couldn't have been better - from my initial contact and many questions before booking, to my final departure. Sofie was a gracious host who even picked me up from the train station after my long journey from Australia! These little touches made the whole experience personal, comfortable, and relaxing. I wanted a place where I could move about freely - making use of the entire apartment - and that's exactly what Sofie offers.

The apartment is nicely located close to the University of Ghent and well within walking distance to the city centre; the cinema, pubs, and grocery stores around the corner were a real bonus. As was the free use of two bicycles. The train station and various museums are all easily reachable by foot. The room itself is both cozy and large. I used the kitchen and rest of the apartment liberally, watched TV regularly, used the stereo and washer/dryer, just as though I were living there. Thanks to Sofie's kind/easy-going personality, gracious hospitality, willingness to help, and knowledge of (and passion for) her city, I enjoyed my long stay immensely. I'd recommend this apartment unreservedly to anyone visiting Gent.
