Akira and Aris's apartment in Gent was fantastic! The location is close to everything you would want to see. It was super clean and spacious, the bed was extremely comfortable, and it was equipped with everything you need. The windows all tip to open, and we were there for several pretty hot days, and the apartment stayed very comfortable for sleeping. The kitchen was great - we didn't use it for much you can easily cook meals there if needed. We really appreciated having the coffee pods and coffee maker available for our morning coffee. The outside area was very cute and private and fun to take our coffee and pastry out to in the morning. While there, we needed to access a doctor, and Aris was wonderful in helping to connect with a doctor just a short walk away the next day. She also allowed us to drop off our luggage early so we could check out the town without the burden of hauling luggage. As other reviews noted, there is a small restaurant downstairs, but that was only open a couple of nights that we were there we got a little bit of noise but nothing bothersome. We weren't able to take the tram right to the apartment since there was road work going on, but that really wasn't an issue. Take the tram to the Knornmarket, and it is about a quick 10 min. walk to the apartment with luggage. If we returned to Gent, we would definitely stay there again. Highly recommend this apartment and the hosts!
