Stayed one night in Mat's place. Very good, accessible host and a very neat, modern apartment with lots of room. Cool old building, under renovation, but the renovation work didn't impact our stay in the least. Great location, right next to the Gravensteen castle and downtown and on the number 1 tram line to the train station. Very very convenient. Mat is very kind and a good communicator. Highly recommend. Like many places in Flanders and the Netherlands, very steep stairs, so parents with small kids (-7) should take care.
