We loved our stay in Ghent and Aris & Akira's place was perfect for us. While we ended up eating out because there were so many great choices very close to the apartment, it did have a nice kitchen with all the essentials.
The bed was comfortable and while the shower was small & dark, the water was hot!
The whole place was lovely and clean, bright and airy with a shady tree in front of the big windows to give a bit of privacy without having to close the blinds.
We loved the games and books in the cupboard for the moments we found ourselves wanting to sit and relax.
The location is really great. Right around the corner from the castle and easy walking access to all the main points of interest. While we were there, the tramline that stops right at the front door was being replaced, so we had a bit of a walk with our bags from the next nearest station...but once the works are finished, that would be very very convenient.
Aris welcomed us at the arranged time and gave us some great suggestions to help orientate quickly and find all the things we needed nearby.
