This was the perfect place to stay for us in Ghent. The space is larger than most other Airbnb's I saw in the area, the view of the rooftops and the skylight are lovely, and you're very close to good food and historical sites, while being able to take in the local scene easily. Our favorite part of each morning was going to the bakery at the corner of our block (it's called WAY) to have some good croissants and coffee/tea. The people there were very friendly and everything we tried tasted great. You're in walking distance of the grocery store Albert Heijn if you need anything, and I can't recommend more the pinball bar Comic Sans if you like pinball, comics, video games, or board games - they have them all! Anyway, the only things to note are that 1) the mattresses are quite firm, if that's difficult for you to sleep with, 2) there are places where the ceiling beams are quite low, so even for shorter people you can smack your head so be careful!, and 3) the stairs are indeed a beast, as others have said. As long as you have your phone flashlight for the parts where there is no lighting, and you've saved up a last bit of energy after your day of walking to tackle them, you'll be just fine. 💪
