We arrived way before the check-in time but were able to leave our luggage with the friendly staff in the coffee shop below the apartment, which was a big bonus. Thomas was there to meet us when we checked in and was very helpful. The apartment itself is massive, clean and very comfortable. Nice terrace, comfortable bed and good shower room. You'd be ok if it rains too as there is a high-spec tv and entertainment system! Location is great, very close to centre. The coffee shop downstairs serves great coffee and the staff helped us to arrange a taxi when we left.
There are a lot of stairs which wouldn't suit everyone but was fine for us. The kitchen is basic which is a great excuse to eat out, there are a lot of great restaurants in Gent!
Overall, highly recommended. Thanks Thomas for being a great host!
