This was a clean modern apartment in a renovated elevator building. Even though it was next to a tram stop and near a church it was very quiet. Aside from the fact that the apartment was reasonably priced and comfortable the best thing was the location. We were able to take a tram 7-8 stops, around 12-15 minutes, get off the tram and be around 15 feet from the front of the building. The other advantage was that it was right in the heart of the historical area, so we were able to go everywhere on foot.
Ghent was a surprise for us, a great place to make a base for visits to other cities such as Brussels and Bruges, since it is located halfway between both places.
