We liked to take care of your young cat. Our daughter and her friend spent lots of time in the nice swimming pool. The house is in walking distance to the city center of Gent. So we did lots of sightseeing in Gent. Also went to the beaches in Ostende and Blankenberge. Liebe Familie Maes, es war uns ein großes Vergnügen eine wunderbare Ferienwoche in eurem tollen Haus mit dem schönen Garten zu verbringen. Herzliche Grüße von Ulrike und Frank

Read More...Their house was spacious, comfortable, well equipped and modern. The back yard is a real gem where we spent hours relaxing after wearing ourselves out touring Gent. It is only a 10 minute walk to the train station which we used for day trips to surrounding cities, very convenient. Gent is an undiscovered medieval town which we leisurely explored without hordes of tourists. We can highly recommend both Gent and an exchange with Sofie and Tom.
