Kurt's place is really a unique and special AirBnB. The main living/sleeping space is enormous with plenty of light and great air flow. Even though the house sits on a main road, the windows are so well insulated you don't hear anything if you close the front side windows and have the back open. Kurt has filled the living space with wonderful art and has an incredible design sense. You will feel like you are in a boutique hotel! Not to mention the bed is very comfortable and I always had a great night of sleep (I was there for a month).
Also on the main level you have a private kitchen and covered terrace. The kitchen is very simple, but you have what you need to cook for yourself and the large refrigerator and freezer make life very easy. The covered patio is wonderful for a peaceful retreat and sitting to listen and watch the birds play in the gardens.
Down a flight of stairs you find the PRIVATE bathroom which is just luxury. Kurt has completed the bathroom with incredible style. A huge walk in shower with large rain shower head as well as hand held head. The toilet is in an enclosed spaced within the bathroom and this makes for ease of use for two people when needed. The double sink vanity and excellent light are just the icing on the cake.
The house looks like it is outside of the central part of Ghent, but once you arrive in the city and you realise how compact it is, you will find that it is a 5 minute walk to the Patershol district and then another quick stroll to the old city and centre of everything. It's only a 20 minute walk along the canals/river to Dampoort Station and a 25 minute tram ride to Sint-Pieters Station. There is a Lidl supermarket 100m outside the front door and several other options near by as well.
Overall, Kurt's home is a stunning place to stay and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who wants a fantastic space to set up as base camp for your trip to Ghent. It is a space within his home, but it feels completely independent! Kurt is an incredibly kind and gentle host. He is a great person to have in-depth and interesting conversation with and will make you feel so welcome.
