This Airbnb is not a bad choice if you’re traveling lightly and have a bike or vehicle to get around. The host was pretty good at providing instructions on how to go whenever. For me, on foot with a lot of luggage, and having to get a medical procedure done that required me to take medication that could cause significant pain — it was not the best choice. FYI, the roads all over the city are cobblestone and not conducive to dragging luggage around. It’s about a 25 min walk to the more central areas in Gent. I asked the host for cab info but he was insistent that I would not need one. I think it should be up to me to decide that - when I’m the one who will be walking ~30 min with luggage over cobblestone in pain. At this point I had already decided this wasn’t going to work out (and booked a hotel) when I got a message that the water boiler was broken and there wouldn’t be hot water during my stay.
