Had a great one week stay at Kristof's place. It's the whole second floor of a house so very large rooms. Kristof was there at arrival and departure to carry our suitcases up and down the stairs which was such a help to my wife and I who are seniors.

Easy walking distance to downtown. One block from the main canal that circles the historic centre. Completely residential area on a non traffic street so quiet at night.

It's very important to get off at the right station in Gent and save yourself money on a taxi ride. Be sure to exit at Gent-Dampoort station not the main station of Gent Sint-Pieters. If you do this then it's a 5 minute walk.

Just head away from Dampoort station parallel with the parking lot and cross the main road. Just to your left is Lucas Munichstraat which you walk up for three blocks to Kristof's house on Buitenhof.

So happy we chose to stay at Kristof's home in Gent and use this town as a centre from which to take short side trips to Bruges, Antwerp and Brussels.
