The best location for the best price in all of Gent. It would be hard to find a more convenient location in the whole city. You're across from the gorgeous Opera house and right on the tram line.
The breakfast downstairs at Kristof's Olé Pistolet is a must have. He is a talented cook and the bacon is to die for.
Be aware that the AirBNB is on the top floor with many many stairs. So you'll want to be in good shape or need to plan to be out for the day as you won't want to deal with those stairs more than you have to.
Also, I was travelling with my husband but if I was travelling solo I would feel very safe in this location.
