Easy communication with Liesbeth throughout and check-in, with Dirk her friendly father meeting us.

The ground floor front apartment is not fully self-contained; rear separate bright and adequate kitchen is past the shared entry, hall and stairs to the host's living space. However no privacy or noise issues for us as Liesbeth and family were away. Comfortable double bed; beware mosquitoes on hot days and no flyscreen on sliding door or bedroom cooling; great spacious shower has good water pressure. Ok wifi, patchy Internet TV, no live TV. Thoughtful supply details e.g. CDs, books, guides, towels, bathrobes, coffee pods and machine.

Cul-de-sac locale with surrounding schools was very quiet and peaceful during the holidays. €3.50/day easy street parking. Nice 30min river walk into the centre, or no.4 tram close by for a leisurely trip taking in Ghent's cityscape.
