I stayed at Koen's house for 3 months. It was really wonderful period for me. Actually, there is a lot of good things to write. However, I would like to emphasize some important points of that for you.
1. Firstly, Koen is really professional landlord. He thinks everything what you need, and your comfortability. As you know that if you are new in a city, some difficulties wait for you. But, he helps for everything (he shows markets, good restaurants, advices, shopping stores, everything that can be easier for you. For instance, he also bought a sim card:) ).
2. Room and house cleaning was really nice.
3. House location is the best place in Gent. His house is just near the Sint Pieters Station (central station of Gent). You can go to everywhere from this station in Belgium and also to big European Cities. There are also Tram and Bus stations. So you can go everywhere in Gent. As well, just 10 minutes to City Center by walk.
4. The other important point is that you have private toilette and bath in your room. It is really one of good features during your stay.
5. In this room, you will have coffee machine with free coffee:) He will provide nice espresso coffee capsules.
6. You can professionally stay and use this room like hotel room. He always respects your privacy. If you need something, you dont need to talk with him. You can just put your previous towels, glasses etc. on a table in the hole. After that, in several hours you can find new things on this table.
Or, you may be a friend with him like us. We cooked delicous food (mussels, chickens, ribs, salads etc. ) He is really professional chef and has professional kitchen.
We really enjoyed and had good memories there. I would like to thank very much for his hosting. If I visit Belgium next time, I will rent again.
