An excellent studio apartment within striking distance of central Ghent on foot or along the Number 4 tram. It's also very easily accessible from the E40 motorway for those driving, with easy-to-use (in English!) parking meters offering all-day parking right out the front. We stayed here very comfortably with our 3 and 6 year old children. The apartment was very well appointed, although lacking a kettle! The apartment also only has hand towels, so we'd recommend bringing your own towels if you prefer something larger.
Ghent is a lovely city for a 2 or 3-day break. We particularly enjoyed the Gravensteen and STAM. When choosing when to visit, it is worth bearing in mind much of the city closes at midday Sunday, reopening Monday afternoon.
We found there were relatively few options in Ghent for eating out, and cafes tend to close after a lunch sitting and reopen in the evening, so we'd recommend planning ahead. We'd also recommend carrying cash, as many restaurants only accept Maestro (not Visa or Mastercard). We enjoyed lunch at Barazza off Langemunt.
When using the tram, we recommend pre-purchasing your tickets from a main ticket booth/machine at one of the larger stops as the smaller units tended not to function.
Nathalie was an excellent host, quick to respond to messages, and very helpful.
