CHARACTER! This is how I would describe the place where we stayed in Gent. The space is cozy, with some original features preserved, which is lovely. It is full of nice touches and amenities - coffee, water, beer, etc. The location is perfect for reaching the central squares and sights (Gent is gorgeous by the way). Only potential downsides for certain visitors might be - a rather noisy boiler placed in the bedroom, a chilly kitchen and steep staircase to the flat (none of these bothered us tremendously).
Johan was great in accommodating the visit and providing guidance. Thank you very much!
