Our stay at Hans's boat house was wonderful! Hans gave us clear directions to his place by bus from the train station. Greeted us with an awesome selection of Belgium beers and showed us points of interest on the bike map. Using bikes to see the city is the way to go. Gent has a number of quiet bike-friendly roads along the canal that felt very comfortable. The boathouse is fairly small but perfect size for 2 people. We'd love the chance to go back again and spend more time chatting with Hans and his family over Belgium beers. We highly recommend staying here.
