Catherine was abroad when we came, so we were welcomed by her kind daughter, Julie and her kids. Since there were some construction sites we were lost for a while. But Julie waited for us and her kids made some dance moves to lead us the way. It was super nice !
The apartment itselfs has all you need :
An equiped kitchen, a sofa-bed (so) comfortable, wifi and the neighborhood is very calm. I loved the big windows that enables light to come accross the entire apartment. Even when it was raining, the apartment was always luminous.
We drove from Paris so we were looking for a place to park our car. Ghent is not very car-friendly, so the parking lot of the apartment was much-needed and reassured us since we did not want to have our car gated during our week-end.
If you need any informations, Julie and Catherine are always available to answer and advise you ! They both talk French, Dutch and English.
You can reach the Sint-Pieters station within a few minutes-walk. Then, take tram 1 and you can enjoy the city lights 10 minutes later. And have a brunch in Den Hoek Af, a coffee at Barista or eat the so-famous ribs at Amadeus ! Stroll along the city canals, shop at Dille en Kamille, visit the Gent Design Museum ...
Or you can just book a train and visit Brussels or Antwerpen or Brugges.
Or you can simply grab a chocolate at Einstein Cafe or Starbucks coffee and ride in the neighborhood. And immerse in the Belgian atmosphere and their pretty industrial houses.
So feel free to stay at their place anytime !
Thanks again Catherine and Julie !
