The check-in for Hilde's place is very simple, even when booking last minute. We were greeted also with Belgian chocolates and local beers Gentse Strop.
The location of Hilde's place is excellent, within walkable distance to the center, while still being a bit outside so that your car can be parked for the whole day (the charge is 6€ per day).
The place is superbly designed and furnished, with all the needed amenities (comfy bed, fridge, kitchen, tv with netflix).
All in all, I would definitely recommend staying here for visiting Gent.
