I would recommend this place for a short stay. The location is really cool. It is in a lively area of town (the red light district) and a very short walk from all the places you want to see in Ghent. The stairs are NOT that steep or narrow as some reviewers wrote- I was expecting much worse after reading some reviews...but yeah, you probably shouldn't bring a gigantic suitcase that is 60 pounds! The bed was very comfortable and there was storage space for clothing and toiletries, that is always nice. Something to think about- the open closet space is basically right across from the stovetop- if you are there for longer and want to cook, keep that in mind!
