Veerle’s apartment was great — clean, modern, well lit, and exactly as described. To the south, it was convenient to the railroad station, a delightful pâtisserie, a bakery and a supermarket (not to mention any number of other good things that we didn’t even have the time to discover!). To the north, it was convenient to a great breakfast spot (“The Superette”), a spectacular lambic-beer house (De Geus van Gent), and of course the gorgeous old city center of Ghent itself. We walked and cycled everywhere and had a fabulous six days. Thank you, Veerle!
