Akira was the perfect host and showed us a good, cheap parking place just a few blocks away. The apartment was superb! Excellent location (Gravensteen Castle just around the corner), quiet neighborhood but downtown center within short walking distance. Everything was there, also maps of the city etc. Spacious place, perfect bed, good bathroom, nice terrace and it was spotless clean. We had a terrific 3-day stay in Gent and would definitely recommend staying here! Thanks again Akira for a great time!
