I cannot overstate what a pleasant stay this was. F is nothing short of a perfect host, as it is clear he has thought of everything. It should be noted that he takes COVID safety measures very seriously, and therefore I felt very safe staying at his place. The feeling of the room itself is spacious, very tasteful and stylish, extremely comfortable, and so quiet. The location is perfect as it gives you a glimpse of the real Gent, rather than touristy areas that are overcrowded and loud (which can be troublesome at night). That being said, it’s a pleasant and cute 15 min walk to all the nightlife. The neighborhood is very safe, with beautiful maison de maître lining the street. It also should be noted that while you are only renting a private room, I did not see F or any other guests in this large house for the entirety of my stay (I credit this to F respecting his guests privacy. Yet, he sent me many tips on Gent via air bnb, so I felt taken care of). Thus, it felt as if I was staying in a grand hotel, all by myself, that used to be a grand posh house. Very serene experience. Thank you, F!
