Fantastic central apartment. The tram stop is right at the front door but was electric so no noise. We travelled in winter and even had snow whilst visiting Gent, but the access to the apartment was very private and easy to navigate. We were on the first floor and Akira, our host carried our luggage to the apartment. Keys unlocked a stairwell as well as the apartment itself, so it is very private. The apartment is large and spacious, it has a coffee machine, and toaster and a stove top to cook breakfast and meals and a modern combo microwave/convection oven which worked a breeze. The bed was comfortable too. The location was so close to supermarkets and pharmacy and a stones throw to the Gavensteen Castle. As it was mid-Dec the Christmas Market was set up each night, with lots of food, delicacies, and superb cheeses. The market was there until 5 Jan. Lots of retail shops for the those that liked to shop and cafes, restaurants and bars. The canals are lovely, the church worth a visit and Akira was more than helpful and if we messaged he responded immediately. Great place to stay!
