When we, guests, book a private room, 2 things are crucial to make our stay pleasant: the characteristics of the room itself and the host's behavior and personality.
If I had to give a grade to Koen's behavior, I would undoubtedly give him 10 out of 10: he's polite, unobtrusive (even in his own apartment !), respectful, refined, he answers his guests' questions and requests immediately. Last but not least, he's a talented chef !
Regarding the room, it comes with all the amenities that a host can possibly provide in a room with a limited space: a fridge with a small freezer, a Nespresso coffee machine, a high-tech kettle, a PRIVATE bathroom with hair dryer and lots of towels, an efficient heating system, an air conditioning portable unit, etc. Moreover, all the appliances in Koen's apartment are in excellent condition; to be honest, some of them even look like brand new.
But there is something even better than Koen's high quality appliances: the comfort of his mattress, pillows and duvet. Honestly, it's the most comfortable Airbnb bed I have ever slept on.
Furthermore, guests staying for at least 2 weeks are allowed to use Koen's washing machine, dryer and... his kitchen. Koen's kitchen is unique and left me speechless, to be honest !
It's also worth mentioning that the location of this unit is perfect for people like me who carry 10 tons of luggage: Sint-Pieters train station can be reached in 4 minutes walking. There is a Carrefour Express in front of the train station, a Domino's pizzeria, several convenience stores and Kebab shops that open until late at night, etc.
Eventually, despite the proximity to the train station, the street where Koen's apartment is located is amazingly quiet - and so is Koen when he's at home.
In short, if I ever come back to Ghent (aka Gent, aka Gand), I would stay in Koen's apartment without any hesitation !
