In short: STAY HERE.
Gino is a super cool host with an equally cool guest house. Almost everything in the guest house was made by Gino and it all oozes with character. The pictures look good but its much better in person. We wished we stayed in Gent longer to just chill here.
Great location, easily found. Lots to do very near by.
Gent tip: If you have a beard, you have to go to the 'Barbier Pourbaix'.
