Great apartment. Fabulous hosts.
Hosts : Mia (and Henrik) were so welcoming. It was lovely to meet them both.
The apartment : You couldn’t ask for more. Mia and Henrik have obviously put a lot of thought, effort and love into making this place as good as it is. The apartment itself was smart, clean and had everything we needed; a modern kitchen, lovely little terrace, and a comfortable, easy vibe in which to relax and make the most of our stay
Location : Central, right in the heart of the historic district, but also (thankfully) up a side street away from the bustle and noise of the mainline shops and bars. This made everything within walking distance, such that we only used the tram from the station and back at the start and end of our stay
Welcome / welcome pack : Trust to Mia’s recommendations and you won’t go far wrong. This was our first time in Ghent; I doubt we would have happened upon such great restaurants/bars other than by Mia’s suggestions. Every one was a winner !
Happy surprise : Finding out that Mia and Henrik run a bakery / chocolate school - another thumbs up to Mia and Henrik for the surprise chocs and pastry gifts one morning. Happy days.
In summary : Ticked all the boxes and then some. We had a great time and can’t imagine staying anywhere else when we next go back to Ghent.
