A good place to stay (we really enjoyed our time there!), but there are some flaws. Some of the flaws might not matter if you are staying for only a short time, as we were, but they might be a problem for some.
Good:
-Apartment is beautiful and stylish! Lots of light and cool decorations.
-Location is awesome. A very cool area of Gent, 5 minutes' walk to the city center. Near lots of great takeout restaurants and things to see.
-Great communication with host. Dymphne was very responsive and gave wonderful local recommendations for the city.
-Bed really comfy!
Bad:
-Not clean everywhere. The bathroom and bedroom were really clean, which was great, but there were parts of the kitchen that weren't clean. We wanted to use the oven, but it was not clean and had smelly food bits in it. Also, there was dust throughout. Some utensils in the kitchen were not clean (spoons and forks) so we had to wash them first.
-Door handles fell off in our hands several times.
-Bedroom light fell from the ceiling and almost hit me while I was sitting on the bed. The host fixed it quickly, but I think it needs to be maintained better so it doesn't fall again.
-Apartment not the best equipped. No microwave. No hand soap in the bathroom (we had to buy our own.) No kettle to make tea. Coffee maker was difficult to use and not clean.
