I booked just a few nights before my arrival and I feel so blessed that this magical place was available! I arrived on foot (about 35 min walk from the train station but if you take public transport could be much faster) and Hans was not available but had left me clear instructions about where to find the key. I was so pleasantly surprised by how clean and big the space is for a boat house. Wood paneling everywhere. Hans loaned me a bike which meant within 10 min I was in the middle of Ghent (which is very beautiful). I didn't cook on the boat but I made coffee which was luckily provided and drank it sitting on the deck. At night I took a wonderful bath and was lulled to sleep on the comfortable bed. Truly a wonderful unique experience where everything went super smoothly. I have spent a few different holidays on Airbnb houseboats but this was the best so far, thank you!
