I spent for 2 mo in ghent in his lovely house. The atmosphere is quiet and calm like other place in ghent.
Birger is quite friendly and enjoyable person. He is always ready to hear my problems and treated well.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay and accomplished goal that I should made.
Personally, his house is sultable to those who spends a long vacation doing some non-physical job, such as reading, writing and thinking.
Additional benefit is well modernized electrical equipment and kitchen wares that may help you stay in the house whole day without being bored.
I am pretty sure this place is the best place who are planning to visit ghent for long time.
