I had a great time staying at Marie-Catherine's place in Ghent. It's a really characterful house, a lovely spacious room with a view of the castle, and a private bathroom. The wifi worked fine, and the whole place was warm and cosy, with plenty of hot water for a bath (although no stand-up shower - I didn't mind). Marie-Catherine helped me with travel information before I arrived, and made me feel very welcome: we went out and had supper and a drink together on the first evening, which I really appreciated because I was travelling alone for work. Even though there was no 'official' breakfast, Marie-Catherine gave me coffee and biscuits in the morning. It was a beautiful part of town with a canal practically on the doorstep, and lots of restaurants and cafes nearby.
