We really enjoyed our three-night stay at Els's place. The space is quite large, much bigger than it might come across in pictures. It was very nice to be able to spread out; when traveling, not spending time trying to figure out where you put your things is a gift! Another feature that can't be overlooked is the magnificent view out the front window; looking at the city's three historic towers to start your morning is very special. One thing to note is that although the flat is located close to the city centre (which is great), Gent doesn't have a central railway station; the two stations it does have are on the outskirts of town and require a ~25-minute walk or ~15-minute tram ride. As others have noted, the bathroom is downstairs from the bedroom; we didn't find this to be an issue (the bathroom is also very nice), but it might be problematic for others. All in all, staying at Els's place was a great way to experience Gent and a good base for exploring the countryside and making a day trip to Brugge.
