Location Location Location. Johan's place is prime for that. Its a super comfortable spacious 2 rooms, well furnished. Its very bright once the sun is up and you can't block it out so if you sleep in, be aware. Its also a very quiet street in a very quiet property so we felt we needed to keep conversations quiet late. Johan was a great host, and carried my very heavy bags up the very narrow stairs, if you are not sure footed, this might not be the place, but i had zero problems, and the staircase are well lit. Its a short walk to the Castle (Awesome) and everything lines up beyond that. Ghent is a truly magical place and i highly recommend the visit. If i come back, I'm staying at Johans'
