What a lovely apartment in a great location! It was extremely easy to get around using this as a home base. We didn't have very long in Gent but we were even able to walk back to drop off things and get more water without slowing down our day of sightseeing. The apartment was charming and there were water bottles and beer in the fridge, which was a nice discovery.
Sadly, we didn't get to try breakfast. When we arrived, we noticed a sign in the restaurant window saying that it was closed. We were disappointed that we hadn't been informed of that when we made our booking, as the proximity and ease of breakfast was a factor in our decision to stay. So I recommend just double-checking that the restaurant will be open if that's particularly important to you.
