Carmen made us feel quite welcome in Ghent, stocking the fridge with a couple local beers and chocolates and reviewing the neighborhoods of Ghent with. We found her recommendations to be mostly accurate. She also was flexible on our arrival time, as our plane and train from Brussels were both well behind schedule. The location is perfect, the apartment very eloquently designed. Do be aware of the time of year, however. There was no air conditioning nor fan available, and opening the windows wasn't much of an option given the mosquitoes. Thus, no air flow made sleeping difficult. Still, worth your consideration given the great location from Ghent's main restaurants and bars on the river.
