Hans is a great host and this is a fun and unusual property. His boat is comfortable, though I will say that as tall people we bumped our heads a bunch of times. The mattress is so soft it feels like a cloud. We loved it. There's also stuff in the galley to cook a simple meal if you wanted to.
The barge is moored right on a bicycle/footpath and we used the bikes at the property to get everywhere in Gent.
It isn't right in the middle of the city, but I think that was a good thing when it came time to sleep.
Thank you, Hans!
