Let's start with the studio : it's large and bright, there is a big sleeping room and a separate kitchen with dining area, charming and well furnished. I don't know if it's a regular feature on airbnb but numerous towels were provided in the bathroom and we did appreciate it since we had'nt brought ours and had to use the kitchen towel on our previous night. The studio is just 5 a minutes walk along the canals from the Gravensteen. And when you're at the Gravensteen, well you're just right in the center!

But, notwithstanding the premises and their location, what was certainly the most memorable in our stay was the quality of the reception offered by Johan and David. They welcome you with special belgian beers (including the Gruut, a typical gentish one which I had never tasted before and is lovely), crackers (but sophisticated ones, dry fruits more than crisps if you know what I mean), and a basket full of fruits! It feels like you've been dying of thirst crossing the desert and wake up in an oasis to the sound of water gently flowing at the foot of an arabian castle or something like that. And they have a lovely big dog and give you a note specially written to your attention with useful information about the city and tell you everything you want to know about Gent and always show delicate attention and kindness.

I would therefore, as the reader has already understood, definitely recommend this place.
