Kris's guesthouse is reached via a narrow alley beside the fitness centre. We did manage to get our Transit van in but it was a tight squeeze. You have the whole house to yourself with some sort of connecting boiler room between your house and Kris's. There was a lovely clean kitchen with milk in the fridge and some cereal on the side and tea and coffee. There is also a sitting room next to the kitchen. Up the stairs is a large double bedroom with a huge bed and a bathroom with a bath in the middle of the room and a handheld shower. There's also an attic room that leads up out of the bathroom. The house is very minimalist in style and there are no doors within the house which felt a little odd at first but we soon got used to it. The stairs are quite steep. The guesthouse seemed to be in a part of the town that was full of students on bicycles (far more than I'd ever seen in Cambridge). It was a 25 minute walk to the first part of the old town and a bit further to the castle. Kris told us the number 5 bus went to that part of the city but we walked there and back. Gent is an interesting city with a mixture of old and beautiful and new & trendy. For board game lovers there is an amazing boardgame shop nearby on the route into town, where you can play and buy games. There is a bakery next door to the house, just past the gym and a supermarket nearby. Gent is a canal city so make sure you pack your insect repellent! We recommend visiting castle Gravensteen with its hilarious audio guide.
