Stunning building, with great location to travel into Ghent and surrounding areas. The living area especially with the garden etc. is very spacious. There are two toilets also, one en-suite so there’s no waiting for the bathroom. As a ground floor apartment it’s also very much accessible for any for whom stairs are an issue. My wife was very pregnant so this was helpful for us. Excellent kitchen facilities with high-end hob top, microwave (the fitted microwave is not an oven, there is no oven) and fridge with freezer compartment. Smart TVs have Netflix and Prime apps built in (and support airplay it seems) so you can log in and watch TV on your own accounts easily. Communicative, friendly host. We were provided all the information we needed, and check-in/out were seamless. The apartment is really nicely furnished, comfortable and we genuinely had an amazing time visiting the Christmas markets (Lille, Antwerp, Bruges as well as Ghent) and returning to the apartment was always a joy. The facade of the building is particularly beautiful.

Negatives were communicated to the host, and did not impact our experience much but are specific and unusual enough to mention: Lights in front bedroom occasionally unexpectedly turned on (including once in early hours of morning), there appears to be a room that was divided without the electrics being separated completely (not sure if it’s a storage room or something). What looks like an oven in photos is actually only a microwave, it’s fitted and a big one but it’s not even a combination microwave. There is no oven. WiFi is shared between apartments which would be fine, but our movie was interrupted about 6 times by somebody trying to configure AirPlay to the wrong device. There are also security implications to sharing a local network, so ensure network shared folders are off on any laptops for example. TVs are in bedrooms (not living area) which does mean having to bunk up a bit to watch a movie together.

Close to transport, very comfortable

I loved the accommodations. It was so beautiful. We really enjoyed the garden. We had two toddlers with us so letting them play outside was really nice. One of the rooms has windows to the garden and it is beautiful at night and in the day time. I specially liked that the train station is a 5 minute walk. There is also a little store that opens really late for snacks. The host was really nice and answered all our questions in a timely matter. He also gave me the information about the street parking. Which was super easy to figure out.
