We arrived in Gent after five days in Amsterdam. A taxi took us from the train station to the flat for 8 euros, where Ruth promptly greeted us and let us into the most amazing room. The whole house is quite extraordinary, as are Ruth and her husband Etienne. The room was so quiet, spacious, comfortable and cozy. Every morning we were greeted with an incredible breakfast and coffee, which was much appreciated before our daily excursions. The entire family, including their two dogs, was nothing less than charming. I would highly recommend their flat for anyone looking for a comfortable, safe, central place to stay in Gent.
