The neighborhood was fantastic, as is Ghent, and walking distance to the old city and castle with all its charms. Johan was super kind and informative about parking and local sites to visit. We were only there for one night - the stairs to the 3rd floor apartment were very very steep and it was difficult to bring our suitcases up so we left them in the hall downstairs. If staying for longer this may be an issue. The apartment otherwise was very clean and spacious and Johan provided us with all the staples we would need to be comfortable - namely coffee and beer and even apple juice for our son!
