Our stay at Ruth and Etienne's B&B Marie Reine was all that we hoped for and more. Their monastery home is unique and charming, as are the hosts themselves and their beautiful, delightful daughters. Our room and bath was private and very comfortable. There, and in the family's quarters, artwork and interesting objects add so much to the ambiance of the place. Breakfasts were simple and delicious - fresh fruits, wonderful breads, homemade raspberry-currant jam, good coffee, and more. Perfect. The neighborhood is quiet, yet so close to the center of the old city. Ruth and Etienne gave good guidance for where to explore and dine, which we did easily on foot. However, the next time we visit it will not be right after the end-of-July Ghent Festival - what a mess the streets were! And so many places closed to recuperate. Still, we will return, to the city and to B&B Marie Reine. Thank you so much, Ruth & Etienne.
