We stayed in Jan-Pieter's place over Christmas and we absolutely loved it! The Gent Winter Festival was only a few steps away, which our 9-year-old son loved. We enjoyed the food stalls and even ice skated while there. Aside from the festival, it was only a few minutes walk to the Gravensteen Castle (get the audio tour! It was humorous and informative!), St. Baaf's cathedral where we saw the amazing Van Eyck's Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, and the picturesque Leie. There were also cute boutique shops and restaurants around the area. We walked everywhere, it was great! Check in was easy and the apartment was just as pictured! It was spacious, clean and had everything we could possibly need. We felt at home and our son even said he almost forgot the apartment wasn't really our own home lol we would love to come back and stay here again when we come visit!
