    Spacious & in a quiet and central neighbourhood

    The location is absolutely perfect, very central and quiet at the same time. It’s a stylish old house with vintage decorations - think maison de maître - so it may look narrow but you will be surprised how much space there actually is. We were in the Garden Room, which includes the ground floor and the first floor, and you really get A LOT of space. There is a sitting room and a dining room plus a kitchen on the ground floor, and a bathroom with a bathtub and a separate toilet. AND you get access to a small garden yard. If you take the stairs from the entrance hallway (shared with another room on 2nd and 3rd floors), you get to your bedroom, plus you have another, smaller bathroom and another room with a kitchenette. So really, you are not cramped! I only wouldn’t recommend it to people who are either too lazy or unable to climb stairs :) The owners, Eric and Lydia, are very helpful (they reacted very efficiently when we had a hiccup with the key), and in the room you will find a list of recommended places in Ghent with colourful descriptions. (I can add one more: café WAY, if you’re into specialty coffee!). There is a fridge, microwave, a kettle, a cooker and I think also an oven and coffee-maker (perhaps Nespresso?) in the kitchen – we were only staying for one night so didn’t even explore everything. I definitely think this is a good choice when visiting Ghent!

    Really we were big fans! We originally booked top two floors not realising that there were not full kitchen facilities; after a week of exceptional Belgian restaurants we wanted to dial it down and chill! Eric magnificently rose to the occasion and swapped us around. We were deeply grateful for his kindness. Both apartments have their merits but the ground floor could be truly magnificent with just a few tweaks such as more crockery, cutlery, a bread knife, some place mats and coasters, tea towels, overhead lighting switches in the living room working fully and some more hangers in wardrobe. If it had a washing machine and a TV/sound system we would move in! We very well may be back…

    Wonderful location in a great city full of art, food, good bars and beautiful views. Stylishly updated ground and first floor rooms - mid century aesthetic chiming with original features. Charming courtyard waits for summer to shine. The politest students in Europe in the area. All done with a touch of class and humour. Loved the artwork including the V&A photography exhibition I recognised! Very helpful and prompt communication from Eric who was super supportive and generous. All his suggestions were spot on - Alice for breakfast!

    A lot of stairs. Not a big problem but you may struggle a bit if you have a big suitcase. Otherwise the property is fabulous

    A beautiful house in a quiet neighborhood and a breath away from the historic centre of Ghent. The aesthetic and decoration of the house is impeccable and very carefully designed. The rooms are massive and it brings such a cosy vibe

    It was a little challenging having to negotiate stairs during night to visit the bathroom on the level below but if one is fit that should not be a problem. Some more kitchen implements and microwave dish would be most useful.

    The accommodation has the charm of a bygone era and we liked the quirky and eclectic nature of the furnishings and paintings. The attic on 4th floor was the bedroom which housed a very comfortable KS bed, plenty of seating, space to enjoy a game of chess and an array of reading material. A lovely view over the roofs of the old city was a bonus. Easy walking distance to the old centre. Host very accommodating.

    Large rooms, everything you need and as a bonus a small garden.

    This is a place out of the ordinary stays available on Booking: a lot of space is available to move around with some very nice touches. The location is close to town center and railway station (by foot), in a very quite area.

    Bathroom is on different floor to bedroom. Shower very small with a shower curtain. The stairs are very narrow and steep. You have to carry your suitcase in your arms in front of you.

    We stayed in the loft apartment. It is conveniently located in a quiet area. It is very spacious, but the layout is strange. Please note that the bedroom is on the 3rd floor and the lounge and bathroom is on the 2nd. Nice lounge suites and bed.

    Most importantly is to know that the bedroom is seperate from the rest of the apartment. It can only be reached by the public stairwell. Sadly it wasn't very clean, the floor was still dirty and especially the apartment on the ground floor smelled strange.

    The interior design seems really artsy and stylish and the furniture is very comfortable. Moreover the staff is very friendly and the location couldn't be better.

    The artists loft is an excellent place to stay. Very spacious and beautifully designed, it's also very easy to access in the city and close to the canalside/bars/restaurants/cultural sites. Erik's information in advance and in the apartment was really helpful and he also managed to accommodate a late request for an early check-in. The apartment was cosy with a very tranquil atmosphere. We absolutely loved it and would definitely stay there again if visiting Gent.

    It was sweltering hot and there wasn’t even a fan in the attic. I thought there was television but there’s just a tv to play dvds. I didn’t like that the bedroom has no door and there’s another person living in the downstairs. I didn’t feel as safe and secure as I would have otherwise.

    Clean, comfortable bed, clear instructions for check in, appreciated having the coffee maker and plates, the decor has character. Good location in the city too.
