Ghent is a lovely city, and our stay at Mieke's apartment couldn't have been better. The location was perfect, just around the corner from Korenmarkt and the center, but in a quiet street, with wonderful views of a church on one side and a garden on the other. The apartment is so quiet, spacious and cozy and had everything we needed. It was just like being at home. Coming back after a long day of sightseeing, making dinner in the lovely kitchen, watching a bit of tv, and then having a luxurious night's sleep in the huge fluffy bed was so much better than any hotel. Mieke herself is charming and an excellent host; she really cared about us and gave us lots of helpful information and advice. We're looking forward to staying with her again someday!
