Unfortunately we were unable to meet Thomas, as he was out of town, but he left informative instructions on how to access his apartment that were simple! The apartment is wonderful - bright, clean, and very spacious. We felt at home and were glad to have so much room in which to stretch out. The location is excellent too - very close to some main sights of Ghent but tucked away in a more quiet neighborhood. Thomas' cafe is great too! We loved the espresso and thought that it was some of the tastiest we'd had. I would discourage people with mobility issues and young children from staying here, as there are several sets of rather steep staircases that would be difficult to navigate if you are not able-bodied. All-in-all it was a great stay!
