Perfect affordable place to stay. Stairs are quit steep and toilet/shower is 1/2 floors lower, but no privacy problem att all, since the owners leave very early. The sitting room next to sleeping room is very cosy and perfect for a cup of (free) tea or coffee or read a (travel)book from Elke's huge collection. Within 800m you have a busstop and small restorant for breakfast(from 9 am). Busses almost every 6-10 minutes directly to downtown Gent. Elke is very kind and provide you with very usefull information before your stay(by email) as well as during your stay(busticket, map). Place is exceptionl clean and towels are provided. Highly recommended if you want to stay for an acceptable price in Gent and don't mind steep stairs.
