Nina's place looked good on the photos but in real life it's even better. The space is so well thought out and balanced that it exudes a calm all of its' own. Nina was super friendly and really wanted to help make the most of our time in her home town of Ghent - which was just beautiful - we can see why Nina is so proud to live there.
When we arrived, on time thanks to excellent directions, we were given the guided tour of the apartment and left with local beer and chocolates as well as lots of information on places to eat, drink and hunt for bargains in flea markets.
We hadn't realised until the final morning that the bikes were there for us to use - that was a shame as it would have been fun cycling round - as there are no cars other than taxis, and trams of course in the centre, the cycling looked very safe - with lots of families making the most of it.
So great food, great architecture, great host, great apartment and even better bed and bedding! I normally sleep 6 hours - I slept for 8 on the first night! OK, this may be something to do with poor sleep the previous two nights, and maybe one too many beers, but I'm sure the bed accounted for at least an hour extra indulgence!
So, if you're heading to Ghent, do yourself a favour and book into Nina's at No 59. When we return, we will be doing, that's for sure.
