We spent a couple of nights here while passing through Ghent and it was a great, unique alternative to a standard hotel room. Long term parking rules changed on the day we arrived so we had to scramble to find parking after we’d already left the boat for the day, but Nick was great at communicating and helping us (we ended up finding a lot about a 10 min walk from the boat, though you can park for up to 5 hours on the street next to the boat). It’s very quiet on the street/canal the boat is on and about 15-20 min walk to city center. We enjoyed relaxing outside on the deck with a glass of wine or beer, but if you want to be in the middle of it all, this might not be the best option. If you’re looking for a quiet retreat after a day of exploring, this is it!
