After visiting Antwerp and Bruges, we now chose for Ghent. After checking a few Airbnb, we saw the first picture of the bedroom of Liesbeth’s apartment. The choice was made quickly. After the direct booking, Liesbeth contacted us. The communication with her is excellent: she is friendly and responds quickly to questions. After a two hour drive we arrived in Ghent. The street and the apartment were easy to find. Another big plus: the street provides plenty of parking space and the prices are cheap: 3,50 Euro for a complete day of parking and on Sundays it is even for free. The neighborhood is very quiet in the evening and night. Because the apartment is set in between buildings of Ghent’s University, during the day you will see students walking by to get a sandwich or go to the nearest bus/tram station. Nevertheless, the neighborhood is quiet, clean and save.
On the day of arrival we received a message from Liesbeth the Airbnb would be ready a bit later due to cleaning. For us it was no problem: the beautiful city center of Ghent is just a 15-20 minute walk. Later that day we could enter the apartment. The cleaning lady was friendly, welcomed us and showed us around. The listing description is accurate: the place is practically and beautifully furnished, the bed sleeps and feels good and the bathroom and shower is clean, big, modern and great! The kitchen has all the equipment you would need for cooking, but we only used it for making tea and coffee, because Ghent has a lot to offer on food and drinks. If you are a tea addict: there are a lot of flavors to choose from.
Overall, the Airbnb Liesbeth is offering is great: enough space, great bed and the bathroom is modern and beautiful. The short walk to the city center is nice and yes… Ghent is a beautiful city!
