Johan and David were our first Airbnb experience so we weren't quite sure what to expect-all our emails were answered promptly and in a way that gave us confidence in what to expect!
On the day we were later than expected arriving but when we arrived David was keen to reassure us that that it wasnt an issue-this was day two of a week long cycling holiday and David then very kindly stored our laden down ( and wet!!) bikes for us without a problem
The house is eclectic and charming,and very stylish-a typical city house arranged over three floors
David was friendly and amusing and couldnt have been more helpful and obliging
He was a wealth of knowledge about Gent- the house is about a ten minute walk from the beautiful medieval centre and he had a stock of city maps on which he jotted some restaurant tips and some places to avoid-in fact when we later ate at one of his restaurant tips (sorry I can't remember the name-but it was excellent ,delicious food and very local) we bumped into him and Johan eating there themselves,the ultimate recommendation.
We never would have been able to make so much use of our limited time in Gent had it not been for their local knowledge and enthusiasm for their home city
We will definitely return if we go back to Gent and so all in all,an Airbnb success story. Go there !!
PS the bakery one minute walk away has the most delicious pastries I have ever had!!
