Guest reviews
Exceptional
Would definitely recommend, loved the closeness to the town and its amenities
Liked: Lovely apartments, very big and bright. Great location, close to lots of bars and restaurants. Short walk to the river and to main town centre.
Disliked: Great property but would like a sensor light by the lifts and on the stairs to the top apartment. Also the cafe needs to stop leaving empty crates by the lifts especially if the intermittent lights don’t always come on, causing trip ups.
Liked: We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the apartment. Each area was very spacious with very good bathroom facilities. Plenty of wardrobe space for those having an extended stay. The location was ideal to reach monuments, places of interest, shopping and eateries by foot.
Good unit and good location, but be prepared to be sleep deprived
Liked: There is lots to like about this facility: -location is great - walking distance from literally everything worth seeing in Ghent -tram system/stop very close - we came via train and it was no issue getting the local tram to the facility -property manager was good and helpful, (they own the restaurant on the main floor) -unit is large, so lots of space -washer/dryer in unit, drying rack as well -there is a lift to the unit, which is a bit of a luxury in Europe (didnt need to schlep our luggage up the flight of stairs) -2 bathrooms, which was awesome - master unit one has 2 sinks and a wonderful shower -kitchen has a small single shot Nespresso machine and toaster, so you can buy some groceries and eat in unit (breakfast), also has a dishwasher
Disliked: some things to be aware of when booking this unit: -wifi is poor - signal strength spotty, not good for streaming (trying to watch the NHL Stanley Cup hockey, kept buffering) -no A/C - this is impactful when booking during the May-Oct season - we stayed late May and it was 30C every day - HOT! -super LOUD street - your windows (which you have to leave open due to heat) are directly above a very loud and busy street with LOTS of night life - sleep is next to impossible with windows open (some nights they partied below us until 4am) -with windows open, mosquitos are rabid - we got chewed up terribly by them - but you have no choice due to the heat -the front door is an all glass door with NO curtain - super weird, as the upstairs unit can see directly into your space when they come downstairs - owner need to put up a rod and a curtain for privacy and security. -no luggage racks - NOTE to owners - this is such a simple fix (buy 2 on Amazon cheap) so your guests dont have to open their luggage on the floor -no shelves in shower for shampoo or body wash - like there is nowhere to put your toiletries, so you have to put them on the shower floor -no bedside tables or desks - again, super weird and very awkward to have nowhere to place your phone or water -dust bunnies around the unit - could use a better vacuum or clean to keep the place fresh -the unit shows "washer/dryer", but they failed to mention that you need to PAY 6 Euros per load and you are to leave it in the jar on the machine - like what? -kitchen is not well stocked with basics - no sugar for coffee as example
Liked: Very friendly and helpful. Lovely location with amazing view from balcony to churches and spires of city. Spacious and airy apartment
The perfect apartment to experience the city, we had an amazing stay
Liked: The apartment was beautiful and really well equipped for our stay. The location couldn't have been better and was in easy walking distance to all of the sites. The host was very helpful and sent us recommendations before our arrival. We really couldn't have asked for a better stay.
Disliked: Street was a bit loud at night sometimes - but expected given central location.
Good location to get around Ghent and enjoy the amenities
Liked: Spacious Close to Centre Close to car Park
Disliked: Noisy at night and early mornings - poor sound proofing Glass front door made it less private
