Perfect accommodation - very generously sized, in a great location, but very quiet. Great garden / patio for relaxing with a drink in the evening. A few good bars and coffee shops in the same street - and the main tourist spots in Ghent are all within walking distance. The host provides some recommendations for restaurants and bars, to which I would add - Berenice (coffee shop), Mission Masala (indian restaurant), Bidon (coffee shop), Barazza, (cafe/bar).
