Neighborhood is on the noisy side as the apartment is near bars/nightlife. Can be noisy until 3am. Very close to train station and center of Ghent. There was construction going on the week we were there and the power was shut off to the building two times in 2 days. An odd circumstance, but because the entrance to the apartment complex and the apartment is a keypad it added a bit of logistics we weren't ready to deal with on vacation. Vincent, the owner, was very attentive. Apartment is in a residential building.
