A really nice apartment, spacious, beautifully decorated, very clean and quiet, right in the heart of the old city. I was in Ghent for work, and found the table in the alcove overlooking the River Leie a peaceful and productive place to work. For holiday travelers, great restaurants, bars, and coffee shops, as well as shopping and sight-seeing (including the amazing Ghent Altarpiece, Van Eyck’s “Adoration of the Lamb” at St. Bavo’s), are all within walking distance. The frequent and reliable 1 and 2 tram lines stop two blocks away and make everything else easily accessible (Museum Doctor Guislain north of Gravensteen Castle highly recommended for a fascinating and unique museum experience). Marieke was an excellent host. Communication was easy, and I very much appreciated both the arrival treats and her flexibility when I needed to leave my bags in the apartment past the check-out time because I was catching a late train. Nespresso machine a huge plus! I would highly recommend this apartment, and will definitely return when I am next in Ghent.
