Perfect short stay in gent on our way back from a week in maastricht. Before arrival Anne-Marie very responsive to any questions, and this continued at Checkin which was very efficient. Location is Perfect, very central and close to everything, but just off of the busy streets and walkways, so not too noisy. Good size terrace great for morning coffee or evening drinks. Listing is very detailed and is correct and accurate.
Recommend Park and Ride as the low emission zone protocol is not simple and needs to be done in advance, and parking expensive. We used The Loop / Expo, which was 2 short 10 minute trams and a 10 minute walk to koerenmarkt meant we were in apartment with 45 minutes of parking, and cost is just €2.5 per person each way as opposed to very expensive day pass and parking.
For dinner recommend ‘eat love pizza’ (www.eatlove.be) for good pizza and pasta, and Pitaya Street Thai (https://pitaya.be), great value. Both in a quieter area of town, and so managed to get canal-side at both, staff friendly and helpful at both restaurants and also knowledgeable and ready to deliver good gluten free options.
Overall, Everything we needed as a family of 4 plus 2 friends to explore gent.
