We stayed with Ben, in his lovely old home. I think the house was built in 1600 something. Impressive renovation! The neighbourhood 'Patershol' is very authentic, also 'Prinsengracht' is dearly recomended. I would stay in this appartement in a heartbeat, we had a perfect weekend here. The location is perfect, you can't find anything better. Everything is superclean, Lovely bathroom, good bed,... Close to coffee spots, restaurants, Gravensteen castle, ... Stay with Ben, you won't regret it!
