I had booked the room for two colleagues of mine that I had invited to come to Ghent for a 5-day workshop. Unfortunately, their experience was not the best and I now feel bad of having booked this room for them.
What was good:
1) Location: very close to the station, so it's easy to manage the luggage and you are close to public transport and 24/7 shops
2) Internet connection
What was bad:
1) The room on the third floor is pretty small and during the day it gets really hot, so it's neither good for working, nor for eating. It is a bedroom and that is it, so guests might get confused why they are asked to do everything in the same small room. It is actually super uncomfortable and I would say rather impossible, so we ended up taking even our morning coffee outside the home, let alone considering to prepare food or work there.
2) The guest are only allowed to use the sink and fridge (no cooking, no sitting by the table or using anything from the kitchen etc.). They are supposed to take everything to their small room via the narrow stairs. That in itself is already a weird restriction of the use of space (and doesn't feel very welcoming), but on top of that the sink and fridge were full of old dishes and food leftovers, which during the week got extremely smelly, so it was quite disturbing.
3) The patio and the whole house were messy and guests are not allowed to use it.
4) Guests are asked to take off their shoes. The floor was dirty and no slippers were offered.
At the end of the day there were too many restrictions and stress around the place, so we spent there as little time as possible.
