This AirBnB, and especially the hosts, Myriam and Bob, exceeded our expectations.
First, the apartment was perfectly located. It is in a quiet neighborhood just on the edge of the city center, which in Ghent means it is very centrally located. There is a tram stop a 3 min walk away, with direct access to the main train station, Gent St Pieters. It is a 10 min walk to Korenmarkt (the main square), Vrijdagmarkt (another main square), and 5 mins to Castle Gravensteen. A bakery is just a few blocks away, and it is also close to the charming Patershol neighborhood, with countless restaurants and a terrific cocktail bar (Jiggers).
The apartment itself is very spacious, much more so than was even evident in the pictures. It was fully equipped (pots, pans, dishes, a large cupboard of wine and beer glasses, some pantry items, towels, cleaning supplies, etc.). There is a quality washer and dryer right off of the kitchen, with ironing boards, drying racks, and an iron. The stove has 4 burners and is more than sufficient for any meals you may choose to make (especially if you shop at the wonderful Albert Heijn grocery store in Korenmarkt!). The TV was internet-connected, so you could log into your Netflix account (very useful as we were still there during the coronavirus lockdown). Newly renovated bathroom and shower. And the balcony was so pleasant, overlooking a nice, quiet green park.
If there was anything at all we needed (figuring out how to close the window, resolving a wi-fi issue), Myriam and Bob responded and addressed things right away. They were the most gracious hosts, and that made our stay extra comfortable and pleasant. We hope to be able to stay here again some time in the future!
