Marieke’s apartment is in a great place for all the central sights of Ghent. It is very easy to get to from the train station by using the tram system. We found many restaurants for both breakfast and dinner that were just a couple of minutes walk away from the apartment. There is also a wonderful bakery that is very close by. We enjoyed sitting in the window and watching the boats on the river and everyday life by the canal. An added bonus for us was that on Sunday morning there was a book market on the street, we even found a stall that sold English books. We would love to go back to Belgium and would definitely stay here again. It is a busy street so it was loud at times, but you could not hear any noise from any other apartments in the building.
