This is the air bnb you've been waiting for - the one where you feel sorry for dumb tourists on the street who are paying outrageous sums to stay at bad hotels. This is an air bnb that should be featured on the homepage; it's that good.

The design of the apartment is impeccable - mid century modern with thoughtful design touches. It's quiet, it has its own patio, it's spotless. You arrive to a bottle of champagne and some of the best belgium chocolate I've had in the country. It is 20 steps to the tram that takes you to all of the things you want to see (castles, churches, museums). It has it's own steam room, complete with slippers and aromatherapy, which after walking around and seeing the sights is a blessing. The location of the apartment couldn't be better, as you can walk to many of the main attractions of Ghent easily, as well as to Patershol, the charming medieval part of town with lots of restaurants and shops.

Nina the host is kind and super informative - she has compiled a binder of information about Ghent and places to eat and helpful hints. She lives upstairs although you would never know it, as the apartment is quiet and she is available for questions quickly but not up in your business.

I've stayed a lot of air bnbs and never have I had such a pleasant and happy experience as I did at Nina's flat; if you come to Ghent and don't stay here it is your loss!
