Ok, I’ll start by saying 5 stars all the way. Ben is a great host. He met us, introduced us to the place, gave us helpful information and provided some wonderful treats. This is a true style AirBnB. Not just a corporate owned one of many! You can’t beat the location!
Due to a change in plans, we added several days to our stay in Ghent. Unfortunately, Ben’s place was not available so we stayed elsewhere. Once we saw Ben’s place in person we were so sad we had not been able to stay there the entire visit to Ghent.
Finally, Ghent. If you are debating about staying in Ghent or Bruges, stop debating. Stay in Ghent and visit Bruges. It’s only a short 40 minute 8.5 euro train ride away and Ghent has so much more to see and do with fewer tourists. And of course, there is no debate on where to stay in Ghent - Ben’s place if you are lucky enough to have it available!
