Nice apartment near Dampoort Station in Gent, probably around 15-20 minutes to walk to the city centre.
Check in is very easy and all done with a numerical pass code so you don't need to worry about not losing keys.
The place is clean and has a small kitchen with pans and utensils provided if you need to cook yourself when you are there. Very comfy bed also! The place is next to a main road but I wasn't disturbed by the traffic as it is well insulated.
