The room is airy and bright, as described, and exceptionally functional. The bathroom and kitchen facilities are top notch, and the bed very comfortable. My personal hiccup was having work commitments early in the day, while breakfast was only available for 9am. The staff at the cafe however arranged things so I could have some juice and croissant the day before, and all was fine. I was there during the Ghent festivities, and while most hotels were flooded with noise and crowds, I could go back to this quiet area just 5/10 mins walk away. The host offers invariably prompt replies, and I strongly recommend it.
