My husband and I stayed at Els' stylish attic space for 2 nights to attend a friends wedding. It's right in the heart of the city and had everything we needed. The space is in the attic of a charming historic house in a quiet street, but very close to all the shops, restaurants and museums.
The bed was huge and very comfortable, and the room tastefully decorated and very spacious, with a lounging area, dining table, kitchenette and plenty of storage. The bathroom was great, clean, spacious with a big bathtub, toiletries, powerful hot shower. We loved the wide plank wooden floors, understated tasteful decor, high vaulted ceilings and general feel of being in an authentic Gent period property.
Els was a lovely host, welcoming but discreet, with quick responses to our questions.
Our friends were staying in a small hotel room for double the price we had payed, so we did feel a bit smug as this place is so much better than a soulless over priced hotel.
Gent is a wonderful city, with great shops and restaurants and beautiful architecture, the winter festival market was on when we were there, so the evenings were vibrant and lively and great fun even in the rain.
Thank you Els for a lovely stay, we will definitely be back.
