AMAZING PLACE - DEFINITELY RECOMMEND
We stayed over Christmas and absolutely loved the apartment; it was clean, spacious and comfortable with such a beautiful view. Ghent is also the most wonderful place and has this most helpful people!
Glynis was a fabulous host, she was extremely helpful with recommending places for us to visit and great vegan/vegetarian restaurants to try! Her communication was incredible as her response time was very quick!
We visited Brussels, Bruges and Antwerp too but none of them were anywhere near as beautiful and as breathtaking as Ghent...
Brussels - too overcrowded with tourists, however, the Grand Place was cool!
Bruges - beautiful and had good museums such as the beer museum but quite small and can see everything in a day.
Antwerp - Our 2nd favourite city (after Ghent) as the cathedral was the most incredible building I have ever seen! Also, it’s got a lot of great high street shops!
So this brings me back onto Ghent... Honestly the most amazing, most picturesque city I have ever been to. We loved chilling at all different types of bars and drinking Belgian beer! There is a lovely bar 2 minutes walk away (Brasserie Midi) where locals love to go and the bartender there (Stef) was extremely nice and welcomed us warmly. As we booked at Christmas time, the atmosphere was incredible and the Christmas market was lovely. All the locals were out celebrating on Christmas Day and and we felt a part of their community as I felt like we were the only English people there!
So, thank you so much Glynis for your amazing hospitality! We loved your place and hope to come back again one day! 😊
