Mathieu’s appartment was perfect for our stay in Gent. It was extremely central so you could walk everywhere, but also has a bus stop practically out the front to get to the train station for day trips to Brouges, Antwerp, Brussels etc. As others have said, the stairs up to the appartment are very dark, steep, and narrow, but once in the appartment it is light, clean, and comfortable. I would definitely recommend staying in Mathieu’s beautiful accommodation.
