The Orfeo is located in a quiet, green residential area of Gent. It is fairly close to shopping and a tram line (10-minute walk). The houseboat has a large living area that is at the waterline which is picturesque, comfortable, light and airy. The Wi-Fi is quick and the Samsung TV is large. The bedroom in the back of the boat is very small and a bit claustrophobic or cozy, depending on your perspective. The bedroom at the front of the boat is large enough but needs to be walked through to get to the bathroom. All of the mattresses are very comfortable. The water pressure is fine and the hot water is hot and reliable. Since my family likes to cook and bake, I will focus on the kitchen for a moment. The kitchen is small but fairly well-equipped. Two people can cook at the same time but they need to be able to work well together. If you want specific/unique kitchen utensils, bring them. The oven is a small "tabletop" one so, for example, baking a cake is difficult (because of irregular heating due to the small size). The refrigerator is approx. 1.5 meters high and there is a separate freezer compartment. The coffeemaker uses Senseo pads so plan accordingly. Leaving the kitchen, the rooftop terrace fits six people comfortably and is delightful to be on during the day and evening. There are many, and I mean many, plants and flowers growing on the whole length of the boat. It's basically a floating, flowering meadow. Beautiful. On the possible downsides, the owner keeps his possessions on the houseboat and there are locked cabinets everywhere. Also, the owner left some food in the refrigerator (fresh beans, beer) and freezer (frozen meat, ice cream). Could we eat the food? Should we leave it alone? We didn't know. This may not be a problem, but it can give a feeling of intruding into someone's life. There is not a functioning barbecuing grill, as mentioned on Airbnb. Also, the parking is not on site and not free. There is on-street parking across the road from the houseboat and the parking costs €3 per 24-hour period (24 hours from the time of payment). These are not big problems, but it is better to have accurate information from the start. All in all, our experience on the houseboat was fun, enjoyable and relaxing. The owner is friendly and responsive to our questions. He seems like a really nice guy. With what we have experienced, we would definitely stay on Orfeo again.
