A wonderfully location for our two day stay in Gent and a great introduction to Airbnb. The canal provided a continuously shifting backdrop with grebes, cormorants, coots and grey mullet providing entertainment. The post-industrial wharves with their cranes were very much to our taste and the beginnings of development behind them suggested an interesting future for the area. The cabin provided a compact and cosy home for two with a surprisingly huge comfortable bed. The tiny, well equipped kitchen was basic but fine for simple meals in. We adjusted quickly to the unusual, but efficient, sanitary arrangements and arrived at our own ‘rules of engagement’. Everything was spotlessly clean. Francis could not have been more helpful and friendly – even providing a lift to the station when we left. The breath-taking centre of Gent is about a 30 minute walk or there is a frequent tram service (number 4, direction Moscou), a few minutes’ walk from the. There is a ticket machine at the tram stop. We thought the boat looked great on the web page - and it was as perfect as we hoped. Overall excellent accommodation for two on the outskirts of an attractive city centre.
