Great spot to stay in Ghent; you are smack-dab in the middle of everything! Just 50 feet from the canal, 2 blocks from the belfry and church, 2 blocks from rail/bus stop, patisseries, restaurants, pubs, shops, and markets everywhere around you. The flat is very small, so if you bring more than two people, make sure you like them VERY much, as they will be sleeping about 8 feet above your head! The little kitchen area has all you need, along with some coffee pods. The windows look right down on to the vibrant street scene, which is both good and bad: great for "feeling" the city and people-watching, bad for sleeping if you need quiet - it's a busy area, and people are out very late! The bed was very comfortable, but the pillows were thin - which seems to be the case in Europe. The new windows provide nice ventilation, and there is also a heating/cooling unit in the room that can double as a white-noise machine to help with street noise if you need it. A couple things you should note: you will have to climb three flights of steps to get in, so make sure you're okay with that and hauling your luggage up the narrow staircase. You also should not be too shy, as the bathroom has no curtains/drapes. There are some patches of opaque material on the windows, but essentially the people across the street can watch you shower and use the bathroom if they want; we showered in the dark to lessen our "exposure" :) And remember: parking really sucks in Gent, so use public transit!
