Really, Bert's apartment has it all! Beautiful location overlooking the canal Leie, super convenient to walking the medieval sites and to two tram lines to get everywhere else. Pretty neighborhood, buzzing during the day but quiet at night. Attractive, well-appointed, and very spacious apartment with lots of windows and light, and even a little balcony. Awesome bathroom with large whirlpool bathtub. Convenient access to laundry facilities.
And Ghent itself is such a lovely, fun, and friendly city with great food and interesting history, music, and art. It's also well-situated as a base for day trips to nearby cities such as Bruges and Brussels (which we visited), Antwerp and Ostende (which we didn't), and World War I sites.
And finally, Bert himself is a fabulous host, attentive both before and during our stay, making communication very easy and always prompt.
You should visit Ghent!
