We stayed for 6 days, the house is very good , the living room big e very nice , the rooms are very good ( 2 of them are smaller with curtains, but works well ) the other two are bigger . The bathrooms are cozy and the showers goodThe house has a special location, near the historical center and 15 minutes far from the train station so we could visit Bruges, Antwerp and Lille easily We were 4 couples ( family) and the house worked perfectly for us
Our extended family of 7 including our infant grandson had a great stay. The apartment was well within easy walking distance of Gent’s historic center. We would definitely stay there again.
We enjoyed the location and the amount of space we had in the loft apartment. It felt like a home away from home. Ghent was a gorgeous place to explore!
We came to Gent for a conference and a visit with friends. The property was perfect for our group of 7 adults and children. Centrally located, spacious, and modern - both the adults and the kids thought it was a cool place. The owner responded quickly to any inquiry and was very gracious. Highly recommend!!

We enjoyed our stay in Ghent! House had plenty of space, big bedrooms, and a nicely stocked kitchen. It’s located in a great area and an easy walk to good coffee and tons of restaurants. The garage was a bonus!

Fantastic stay!
Wonderful house and well situated. Len very nice! Recommended 100%.
Len was a fantastic host, he was really helpful. It was the perfect place to stay, tonnes of room for us and bikes on a trip to watch the Tour of Flanders. Great location too with only a 5-10 min walk to some great bars and restaurants. Thanks Len 👍
Superb apartment about 10 minute amble along the river into main area of Ghent. Owner very welcoming, great explanation of amenities, places to eat etc.
Lovely and clean, beer, wine and chocolates left for us also tea and coffee. Lovely bakery just round the corner and a Lidl not far away for those self catering but we ate out mostly, great choice of eateries.
Lovely property with parking was perfect. Just 3 in our group so plenty of space to spread out and recharge after sightseeing and enjoying the holiday festivities. Safe quiet neighborhood, felt private yet relatively close to all the activities and attractions. The only negative for us were the scratchy towels and toiletries offered. Nice place to stay for people who enjoy walking and exploring, I would definitely recommend.
We thought the apartment was lovely..cool, comfortable and spacious. It’s in a great location, a quiet area but near good places to eat and an easy walk to the centre. Host was easy to contact and prompt to reply. Only problem was the sofa cushions were a bit dusty, some of us a bit allergic… other than that, fabulous!
Beautiful designed loft within walking distance to the historic City Center of Gent. Spacious facility for group of 6 people. The only area to improve: kitchen equipment (ovens and glasses) and upper bedroom were not cleaned.

Dear Birgit,
Thank you for your constructive feedback - we'll certainly take it into consideration, this really helps us to improve!
Best regards,

Spacious home with lots of character. Unique design. It was about an easy 7 minute walk to the central area of Gent and there were a couple of nice neighborhood restaurants and a small market even closer.
We were able to drop our bags off earlier which was nice.
Large windows and skylights let in lots of light,
The more modern exterior of the building did not reflect the charm of the interior. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The loft was perfect for the four of us. Location is a short walk to the center of Ghent. Across the canal was a hidden gem--Industrie Museum. And a lovely Italian restaurant. The loft was light and airy, the bathrooms modern. The common area has a nice seating area, a huge dining table and an adequate kitchen and a small powder room. Common area is up one flight of stairs, 3 bedrooms and baths a second and the fourth bedroom another flight (in case stairs are a problem). The host was immediately responsive to all of our messages.
Enjoyable experience in a unique property steps from the centre of Ghent.
We enjoyed the location, the size, and the uniqueness of this property and would stay again in a heartbeat. The only minor complaint thay we had was that although the property was tidy and well equipped, it was not quite clean when we arrived. We communicated this upon our dwparture and I'm sure it will be rectified for future guests as the host was very redponse and communicative throughout the rental process. We did not let the minor issues affect our stay at the great property so close to the centre of Ghent. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

Dear Petra,
Not sure how to interprete this review since you did not communicate any problem to us during your stay. The single beds are 90 x 200 cm, the double beds 180 x 200 cm, which is a normal comfortable size. You booked for 7, and informed us last minute that 1 person would not come. Based on this information we immediately refunded you part of the booking fee, without any discussion. You asked for an early check-in and a late check-out which we happily granted you without charging you any additional fee. Your review is harsh and a little unfair in my (humble) opinion, since we went the extra mile to accomodate all your wishess. All the best! Len
It's really a great, massive, open space. Very cozy, lots of room. Great showers and such. Very nice to hang out by the fireplace with your friends. There was an unfortunate problem our first night - during heavy rain, some kind of problem flooded the house with a really horrible sewage smell. The property owner responded and apologized immediately, but we had to live with the smell until the next morning when someone arrived to fix the problem, which originated from the garage.
Hopefully the remedy means future guests won't have the same experience. Other than that, perfect, and great communication from the host.

Hi Isaac,
Glad you enjoyed the cozy open space, the fireplace and the bathrooms. We acknowledge there was a problem in the garage, not caused by the rain but by maintenance works on a tank below ground level in the garage: these took place just before you arrived. The seal of the tank appeared not having been closed hermetically after the works, which indeed caused a smell. You reported the problem in the evening and I’m happy that we were able to fix it already the next morning. I sincerely apologize again for the few hours that you had to live with the inconvenience. Since the fix, neither us, nor any other guests have observed any smell anymore. Therefore we are pretty convinced that the fix was effective.
Thank you for the review and for having choosen our loft for your stay in Ghent!
Best regards

Our whole family loved the loft. It was unique. The kitchen was more than fully equipped, although we would have liked instructions on how to use the oven/microwave. In the end, we were very grateful for the toaster. It took a day or so to get used to the steep staircases. This place probably would not be suitable for toddlers or less-mobile adults, but our 8-12-year-old grandkids loved the top floor and had no problem scrambling up the ladder-style steps to the top-floor loft. We had no problem walking to sites all over Ghent. The neighbors on the whole block were friendly and showed us how to use the parking meters on the street. The garage accommodates one medium SUV-style car. We were visited a few times by a small mouse on the kitchen level, but the kids found it entertaining. We recommend this spacious, interesting loft.
The apartment was incredibly spacious and had everything we could possibly need for our stay. The host responded really quickly to a question. Highly recommend
Alojamiento cálido y acogedor. Ideal para pasar unos días en familia. Cuenta con todo lo necesario, muy luminoso y bien situado. El salón comedor es lo mejor de la casa sin duda y el tercer aseo en esta planta es todo un acierto.
Schön ausgebautes und eingerichtetes Stadthaus in absoluter Nähe zur schönen Innenstadt von Gent. Auch in der Nähe gibt es gute Restaurants, Bars und Geschäfte für das Alltägliche.
Heerlijk vriendenweekend gehad in deze ruime en centraal gelegen accomodatie. Schoon en modern sanitair, sfeervolle inrichting. Misschien de keuken nog wat fatsoeneren en een beetje meer poetsen, maar verder helemaal niets op aan te merken.
