Have you ever felt the need to review your host even before your stay started? That’s how I felt with our host, Thierry. Not only did he give us directions from the main train station in Ghent (without us asking), He offered to pick us up from there when we couldn’t find any ticket machines that had English instructions or anyone manning the ticket counters as we arrived on a Sunday when most places are apparently closed. We eventually found our way on foot to Thierry and Inges place. It’s smack in the middle of town, right in front of tram line 1 stop which will take you to most ‘tourist’ places and into and out of the main train station.
The house itself is beautifully decorated. Loved the architecture of the stairs and the upstairs ‘loft’ bedroom and en-suite bath as well as the closet/office nook and the patio. We looked at several places before we chose Thierry and Inge’s place. Most of them didn’t have bathrooms on the same floor as the bedroom but this house has 2 bathrooms, one upstairs and the other downstairs.
Thierry personally greeted us, he was actually out on the street waiting for us. He showed us around the house and how to operate all the appliances as well as gave us recommendations to some good food and waffle places in town.
We loved our stay in Ghent!
