Loved our stay. Aron provides a very comfortable flat which is convenient to the downtown area. It is actually a very easy and safe walk to downtown. There are extra touches in the flat such as hotel size shampoo and body wash containers. Aron is also very prompt at responding to any communications. I would stay here again and highly recommend the flat to anyone visiting Gent. BTW my husband and I much preferred Gent over Bruges - far fewer tourists, very rich history, more opportunity to engage with the locals. Your first order of business should be a boat tour - you will see how close you are to downtown as the tour goes right by the flat. Also take the Viva's Free Walking Tour with Aya.
