Akira is a most wonderful host! He got back to all our questions promptly, offered us advice for transport, warmly welcomed us at his apartment and provided all sorts of guidebooks, maps and information on restaurants & shopping places we could need for our visit. He even spared time for a drink with us the next day. We enjoyed the chat with him about Gent, Hong Kong and our travelling experiences a lot. Thanks, Akira!
The apartment is superb! Spacious, neat, tidy, clean, tastefully-decorated, well-equipped with daily necessities & kitchen ware. We adore it!
The location is great too! Just next to the famous castle, and only a short walk to the old city centre full of historic buildings & the canal for sightseeing. A great many choices of good restaurants too (there is indeed a good one right below our apartment)! Very convenient public transport -- the tram station to the train station is right next to it!
Highly recommended & will definitely go back in the future :)
