We fell in love with Ghent, due in no small part to Marieke's lovely and well-situated apartment overlooking the river. We woke up the first morning to a used book sale right below our window - how did they know we were bookaholics? Marieke made sure all the logistics were seamless and left us several welcome treats (I love Belgian chocolates!)
We walked most places and took the convenient tram and train anywhere we couldn't walk. Ghent is charming and Marieke's book of suggestions was most welcome. We would go back in a heartbeat and would most definitely stay here again.
