This apartment was a lovely home base for a stay in Ghent. My husband had a conference at the university, and I wanted to explore the central area of town, and this apartment was about 10-15 minutes walk from each. I will say it was further from the center than I expected. But there's a tram stop right by the apartment, which was great once I figured out how to get tickets (look into a CityCard if you're staying for a few days). The apartment has a lot of stairs-- two steep flights to get to the door, plus the rather frightening staircase to the bedroom, so pack accordingly. But the apartment is gorgeous, stylish, and comfortable. Wifi was great, the little kitchen was wonderful, the bath/shower was lovely, and having a wash machine was a great help. Also the check-in was perfect as we didn't have to wait for anyone to let us in after a long trip, just opened the key box with the combination Marc emailed us. It was hot when we were there, so the attic bedroom got very warm and we also had mosquitoes, but the small fan in the bedroom kept us fairly comfortable at night. There are a few pubs and things nearby. I especially recommend Gust, just a few doors down, for a lovely vegetarian breakfast or lunch.
