What a find! After three days, you'll be ready to spend the rest of your life in the cosy wood-panelled cabins of the barge. The bathtub was magnificent and after a wintery day it was delightful to stretch out in the plentiful hot water and contemplate your good fortune. I honestly think Christmas spent on the barge would be delightful!
The "bed cage" was very snug and comfortable for a couple. There is a small sofa in the living room with a reading light and a mini-library, including a book about "loft-boats" with an interesting history of the live-aboard barges. There is lots of built-in storage to hide your suitcases in so you can easily stay organized.
The kitchen had all mod cons and held all that you needed to cook and more. (We drank up all the beers provided save one.)
Hans was extremely kind and welcoming, and gave us good tips about birdwatching...our favorite!
We hope to return. There are masses of things to do in Ghent and it was wonderfully festive just before the holidays.
Read the other reviews to see if there is anything that would prove a problem for you. We didn't have any.
Thanks, Hans, for making your boat available!
