Liesbeth welcomed me on my arrival and showed me each room, explaining how everything worked. The photos and description matched what I found in the flat. There was good storage space, especially in the bathroom and the area is very quiet at night. I cannot stress too much how useful it is to have washing and drying facilities, especially if you are travelling over an extended time.

My stay was for one week and I found all the cooking utensils I needed plus a small quantity of basic items to help with cooking. A small supermarket is near the station but be aware they are not open late, however in the area there are other excellent shops for purchasing bread, pastries, fish, meat and delicatessen type goods.

Transport is available within 10 minutes walk – train, bus and tram; the city centre was within reasonable walking distance while nearby is the STAM. Liesbeth was available to provide local knowledge and made some excellent suggestions regarding travel and places to visit.

Liesbeth was an excellent host, helping with small things like the loan of an umbrella when it rained and I was pleased I had chosen to stay at her flat for my week in Ghent.

Thank you for making my stay in Ghent a memorable one Liesbeth!!
