Firat's apartment is on a very nice and quiet street. It is very conveniently located for the Gent Dampoort train station. google maps says about 15 minutes but you could probably get there a little faster even. The apartment inside is very nice looking with a cozy feel. Firat even provided slippers for walking around inside! The bedroom was spacious and there was a window for fresh air. He had a bunch of maps and gave me recommendations. One of them was to see the dragon on the belfry blow fire at 1030pm. It was super cool but also very very fast! It only did 3 little poofs haha. I was sitting next to an older lady and she was watching me and tried to explain that it was done. If Firat had not mentioned it to me I would never have known! He also told me about visiting a tower that is not usually open to the public. These little things are exactly why I love to stay in Airbnbs!!
Gent is super walkable and it is not far from this apartment. I felt safe in the neighborhood as a solo female traveler too! Would recommend :)
