I'm in love with Gent, and this was a wonderful home base while my mother and I were there. The house was just as advertised--spotlessly clean and well-appointed with beautiful, simple, modern decor--and Sabine and her husband were very welcoming hosts, walking us through the details of the house and making sure we felt at ease. It's obvious that they really care about their guests and making this a comfortable space. There were many much-appreciated extras, from umbrellas to water bottles to fresh-baked cookies to guide books for the city. Check in and out was very easy, as well, and the location, while not in the center of town, was great -- super close to the train station, to a bus that goes to the city center, and to a supermarket and several cafes. It was quite hot while we were there, so the top floor room was a bit warm, but with windows open (and mosquito repellent plug-ins installed) it was fine -- and in my limited Airbnb experience, very few homes in Europe have air conditioning, so the heat wave would have been a challenge anywhere.
