We are a family of six (2 adults and 4 children - between the ages of 14 and 8) who stayed 4 nights in Matthias's place in Gent. We had a super time. Matthias was great to deal with pre and during the stay. He allowed us to check in early which was a fantastic help as we had left home very early on the first morning of our trip.
The location of the apartment is second to none; you are pretty much in the middle of everything and within walking distance of reliable public transport. Yet, you are not on a main thoroughfare hence there was no noise to speak of from traffic or people.
The apartment was spotlessly clean and in very good order.
And Matthias was, for us, the perfect host; responsive when needed but invisible otherwise :-)
