Johan met us at the door and allowed us to drop off our bags even though we arrived before the official check-in time. We went to lunch and came back for the official tour. He had already carried our (heavy) bags up the steep stairs. He showed us the room and gave us some helpful maps and tourist guides of Ghent. He also left us some water and a couple of good Belgian beers (Westmalle Tripel and La Chouffe, if I remember correctly).

The place itself is very nice. Large kitchen and bedroom. Lots of natural light. The bathroom is quite small, but gets the job done.

Good location as the apartment is only a 5 minute walk to the Gravensteen castle and the beginning of the historical city center.
