Ghent is an amazing city. It was especially good to visit in July during the festival.
Liesbeth's home is around 12 minutes' walk from the train station (easy to find) and an easy walk into the city.
The flat was quiet and safe.
Liesbeth was very responsive to messages. Her mum and charming son met us on arrival and Liesbeth had left great instructions on how to use shower and other appliances etc which was helpful. Liesbeth also had several tourist guides in multiple languages which was also brilliant.
Selection of teas great.
Shower hot with great pressure.
The downside was a very soft bed which we found uncomfortable and mosquitoes a problem at night leaving windows open during very hot weather.
Ghent a great place to base a stay in Belgium. Good connections by train to other cities such as Brussels, Antwerp and Bruges. Ghent especially charming of all these places.
