Wow, we were the first ones to stay with Ruth and Etienne in their fantastic accomodation - what an honor. The ambience is great - the room is in a wonderfully restored old nun's monastery and still has the original, colorful floor tiles and windows. The welcome by Ruth and Etienne was very warm - we felt truly comfortable. They helped us with maps and all sorts of recommendations for our stay. The room is well equipped with everything you need (tea, coffee, drinking water, hair dryer, guides about Gent) and very cosy with a huge and snug bed. We liked the closets made of massive and fragrant wood and the way the room was decorated - with many vintage pieces and artwork. The old town is just a 10 minute walk away (great for a little workout after a Belgian dinner)! In the morning, we enjoyed the breakfast with delicious organic products in the kitchen. Unfortunately, the weather was not that good - otherwise, we could have sat in the picturesque small courtyard. Well, maybe you will be luckier. Definitely a recommendation if you are looking for a special and very personal place to stay in Gent!
