Being hosted at Sofie's place was really great! When I arrived she welcomed me with a glass of red wine and gave me all the feeling of being at home. Her cat was lovely and I think she enjoyed very much my short staying. She was careful to give me all the info of about the house and the neighborhood, as long as how to get to the city centre by bus or by walking. I highly recommend staying at Sofie's if you'd like to experience staying in Gent with a Flemish local!
