This was an excellent place to stay while at a conference at the Ghent ICC (located in the park nearby). It was a 15 minute walk either to there or to the historic areas of town. Trams were quite accessible too, but walking was easy & calm. This place is on a quiet residential street, but is just about one block from a main road (in from of STAM museum). The neighborhood has a mix of university & residential buildings. It provides easy access to the city, without being in the noisier parts of town.
