*History & Culture*
Make sure to reserve at least a few days to visit and learn more about Gent’s deep history and cultural landmarks! We recommend visiting top-rated Gravensteen attraction – a 10th century majestic castle built in a moat offering a stunning backdrop of the city. Why not also visit the historic city centre and admire the fascinating Gothic and Romanesque architecture? Saint Bavo’s Cathedral and Saint Nicholas’ Church are prominent examples of this architectural style, along with an intricately detailed interior. For art enthusiasts, the Museum voor Schone Kunsten (Museum of Fine Arts) is a must-see, containing thousands of exhibitions and preserved pieces of art from the late Middle Ages all the way up to the first half of the 20th century. Other notable mentions include the Museum of Contemporary Art, Korenlei, and Kasteel van Ooidonk.
*Nature*
You will be spoiled for choice when it comes to all the natural attractions that Gent has to offer! On the outskirts of Gent lies the Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen Nature Preserve – covering 230 hectares of marshland, wetlands, farmlands, meadows, and canals as well as many species of birds. If you want to see more diverse plant life and biodiversity, head on over to the Ghent University Botanical Gardens. Here you will have the chance to discover over 10,000 plant species from all around the world! Need a break from the city? No problem – take a stroll down one of the many beautiful city parks, with Citadel Park, Muinkpark, and Koning Albert I Park being a stone’s throw away.
*Entertainment*
There are a multitude of high calibre performing art centres, concert halls, and live music venues for you to indulge in. Witness the grand spectacle of the Gent Symphony Orchestra at Opera Gent or listen to contemporary jazz at Bijloke Gent Music Centre. No matter your preference, you will certainly find a performance that fits your own personal taste. Go to the visitgent website to discover more.

The appartment was as described, nice, clean and all what we needed was available.
The only comment i would make is that during our stay, the temperature in the appartment could have been slightly warmer. All the rest was good.

The waste disposal was complex and unclear. We received several informations that did not match (we were told in seperate messages that we had appartment 1 AND 2. The wi fi network and the code were incorrect, a kind lady came to help us but her code ALSO didnt work.
Coming back from an outing we were unable to enter the parking lot because an employee had parked in front of the door.
There were very few dishes, glasses and utensils.
The appartment was very spacious and comfortable, but the floors could use a wash and the balcony desperately needs to be powerwashed. Aside from these inconveniences, our stay was enjoyable.

Richtig geräumige Wohnung, hyggelig eingerichtet. Parkplatz hinter dem Haus.
Einen Stern Abzug für die spärliche Geschirrausstattung in der Küche!
Super netter Vermieter, gerne wieder!!

Der Check-in-Prozess und die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter waren richtig gut, das hat alles perfekt geklappt.
Umso enttäuschter waren wir von der Wohnung:
Die Einrichtung ist ziemlich durcheinander gewürfelt, in der Küche sind verschiedene Geschirrteile völlig lieblos platziert, es gibt ein (1) Wasserglas, sonst nur Weingläser, aber davon reichlich. Messer sind stumpf, Besteck teilweise verschmutzt.
Wir haben uns kein einziges Mal auf das Sofa gesetzt. Die Decken auf dem Sofa sind völlig verschmutzt und schon lange nicht mehr gewaschen worden, ebenso wie die darunter.
Bei einem der beiden Balkonstühle ist die Armlehne gebrochen - unbrauchbar. Beide sind so schmutzig, dass man sich nicht darauf setzen kann. Der Aschenbecher auf dem Balkon wurde vor unserer Ankunft nicht geleert und war überfüllt mit Zigaretten. Der Wäscheständer auf dem Balkon war völlig kaputt.
Das haben wir auch dem Vermieter so geschildert, es kam ein Entschuldigungsmal, danach aber leider nichts mehr.

Très bel appartement spacieux et confortable bien situé dans le triangle géographique de Gand Bruges Bruxelles qui nous a permis de passer un excellent séjour en Belgique.
L'hôte est très réactif pour répondre aux demandes, seuls bémols un environnement un peu bruyant et une légère odeur dans la salle de bains

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen! Das Appartement war sauber, ordentlich und es gab alles, was man braucht. Lediglich das Besteck ist etwas wenig vorhanden.
Sicherer Parkplatz im Hof und die Terrasse zum abendlichen Verweilen waren super. Die Lage war für Ausflüge nach Gent perfekt. Die Straßenbahn fährt nur 300 m entfernt bis ins Zentrum von Gent. Die Stadt ist absolut sehenswert!
Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war perfekt und Check-In/-Out problemlos. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
