If you are going to Ghent, Stefan's house is an amazing place to stay. You can get to the city center in 30 minutes if you walk but you can also take the bus (the stop is in the main street close to the house). The surroundings of the house are quiet and calm. The bedroom is nicely decorated, every little detail is well thought and has so much natural light! The view from the terrace/bedroom window is really nice. You can also go to the terrace from your bedroom to relax, read, to eat, etc. The bed is big and confortable. We also could use the kitchen to have meals or to cook, and eat in the garden if we wanted. Everything was spotlessly clean.
Stefan was an amazing host, he welcomed us when we arrived and was flexible regarding the check in hour (we arrived earlier). He left us a binder with information on what to see, how to get to places, tips, etc. All our doubts were answered really quickly. I don't think we could ask for a better host.
Regarding the pets: Stefan has the most cute cat, Suzy. We loved her! He also has 3 chickens and you can see some sheep from the fence at the garden. If you have children I think they would love that.
In conclusion, we felt at home in Stefan's house and I think that is one of the best compliments that you could give! Thank you Stefan for everything! :)
