Peter's place is very easy to get to if you are coming from St. Pieters station. You can easily catch a tram close by the house to the historical centre or walk in about 30-40 minutes. When I arrived Peter gave me suggestions on what to see and do (including special events happening during my stay) and a historical overview of the city and many of it's sights. This was much appreciated as it helped guide me through my exploration! I would definitely recommend Peter's place and recommend Ghent to anyone coming to Belgium.
