We stayed at Akira's place from Friday till Sunday. The navigation told us it would take 2-3 hours to get to Gent, which wasn't very accurate, but no problem to Akira. We kept contact through messages over the phone and he was waiting there when we arrived. He showed us the best parking spot on the map, even offered to take us there himself. He has a few interesting tourist books in the apartment if you didn't have any time to do research beforehand, which is great. The apartment was very clean!! He has all the basics for you there to use, such as coffee, tea, salt & pepper, stuff for washing the dishes. We loved our stay! Akira was very kind, the apartment had everything and is located centrally. If we would come back to Gent, we would definitely stay with Akira again! The only feedback we want to give Akira is maybe change the locks? The front door was really hard to lock and every time it took us quite a while to do so. Apart from that, the apartment is perfect!!
