We planned a week-long trip of day trips Brussels/Bruges/Antwerp/Ghent, and we chose Ghent as our home base. That led us to Angela's place in Ghent, which was perfect for what we wanted and a downright fabulous rental overall: great communication from the owner, a lovely home in walking distance to the train station for easy day trips, huge rooms, privacy for all, artfully decorated and a nice and safe neighborhood.
The description is accurate and the photos don't actually do the home justice. The master bedroom is HUGE with a bay window that invites you to just sit and read a book all day. That bay and the windows and skylights in the top-floor bedroom look out onto a lovely park that's good for a daytime stroll. The kitchen, adjoining dining room and sitting room are big enough to host a family holiday banquet. Out back of the kitchen is a pretty garden where we had coffee in the mornings.
There's original art hanging throughout the house. Angela kept in constant communication with us, welcoming soon after we arrived and checking in on us occasionally, without prompting, to make sure all is well. The home is located on a residential street facing the park. There's a grocer about a 10-minute walk away, which was no problem for us, and the next-door neighbor saw us on our second day and offered to drive us to the market - that sort of hospitality typified our stay. We couldn't ask for anything more from a rental and give this our highest recommendation!
