We all liked Xavier and Joke's apartment very much. Communication beforehand and during our stay was excellent and on arrival we were warmly welcomed by Joke's friendly parents, who live nearby. Getting to the apartment was an easy walk (with wheeled suitcases) from Ghent's Sint Pieters mainline station, which gives rapid cheap, relatively inexpensive (by British standards) access to most of Belgium (we travelled to both Bruges and Brussels). Travelling from the apartment to the centre of Ghent is easy by tram but we were happy to walk, beside the canal. The flat is a good size, with comfortable beds and overall it was equipped with everything we needed, particularly (as we sometimes like to cook for ourselves) the American-style kitchen. Recommended - we would definitely stay there again. Thanks very much, to Xavier, Joke and her parents.
