  An adorable and homey place that I feel is worth it. If I return to Ghent I know where to stay.

  Liked : A sweet suite tastefully decorated with home furnishings, books and artwork. It felt like being home. Maybe not my home, but it felt more welcoming than virtually any commercial hotel room I've stayed in. The owner, Eric, dropped by to check if everything was alright and to offer breakfast. A kind man, and very helpful with info about the city.
  The self check-in process went seamlessly. Pre arrival texts offering access codes, transport info and exact directions to find the place (which isn't marked on the outside) were spot-on. Rooms (there are 2, it is a true suite) were generous sized and felt

  Disliked : Street was busy during the day, the front room of the suite is visible to the public which gives you that "living in a fishbowl" feeling. There are drapes and grills to cover the windows, but then it blocks the canal view. A gauzy curtain or mesh screen might serve for better privacy.
  There is no shower, but a large sunken tub with a shower head on a hose. I didn't try either as I was only staying one night. The tub lacked splash curtain and I didn't see an overhead holder for the shower head so it seemed like it would be awkward to take a shower.
  Take note there is a restaurant right next door. Normally it is listed as closing around 21:00 but the night I stayed they were open til 01:00 for some reason. Eric informed me the next day that is very unusual. Despite this the room was surprisingly quiet. The only bothersome part was occasional whiffs of cigarette smoke, but even that was infrequent and I didn't feel like I was being gassed out. (I have a sensitive sense of smell.)
  These negatives are IMHO really small compared to the quality and ambience the room offers. Would not deter me from renting again if I return to Ghent.

  An unforgettable and amazing experience

  Liked : We really had a wonderful stay! The owner was very nice and quick to answer our questions when we had some. The location could hardly be more central, only a few minutes by walk to the Korenmarkt. The living room is amazingly decorated and the whole place filled with all kinds of interesting books about painting, history etc. The room was incredible, with the most comfortable bed you'll ever see, and a bath behind thin curtains to relax in the light of candles...we definitely recommend it!

  Disliked : Nothing, all was perfect!

  Liked : Quirky little lovely place like being in an art gallery. Comfy bed and the deep sunken bath was a nice touch. Good location

  A most interesting property

  Liked : Really interesting place and right beside the centre if the city

  Disliked : I least liked the bed which was built into the floor. Once I figured out the best technique for getting in and out of it, all was fine.

  Very calming place if you visit Gent

  Liked : Eric is one of the best hosts you could ever dream to have! Even tho, there was a slight inconfort for us in the beginning, Eric insisted to make it right for us, it was wonderful!
  
  Seriously, this has been so relaxing for us, it took me one week to come back from this trip and write this review.
  
  The place is also right in the center, next to the canal, you'll be in the right place to visit the city!
  
  For sure, if we come back to Gent, we'll stay with him.
  
  Thank for everything! We look forward to our Antwerp at your other place!

  Disliked : Nothing much, Eric made it right arranging another room for us with the initial incomfort we had in the first room at the base floor.
  Thank you again for doing this!
