The old town was so fascinating with all the historic buildings, canals, museums, cute shops and lots of good restaurants. Within an hour we could make great day trips to the Belgian or Dutch North Sea coast. All in all, a very great and eventful exchange. Thank´s a lot for this experience!

Read More...We really felt at home in Frederic and Lotte's house. It is a cosy and open house. With everything you need. It is not in the centre of Ghent, but with the tram you are in the centre in no time. During our 5-day exchange we explored some culture in the SMAK museum, the MIAT and visited a photo exhibition. We enjoyed a culinary adventure at AYWA and Aba jour. Well, walking around in Ghent is a pleasure in itself. Just looking around is enough! Frederic and Lotte thank you for letting us enjoy Ghent and its people. Johan and Saskia

Read More...We liked the home of Lotte and Frederik. Large enough for 7 people and we walked to the center (25 minutes) and liked it. Gent is just gorgeous, everywhere you look beautiful old historical buildings. Nice dining places and close to really nice mountainbike trails. The area is flat like holland but with the somewhat raining conditionings it became muddy. Really a lot of fun for us. Thanks for a wonderful time.

Read More...We had a great time in Ghent in this lovely family home. Very easy and helpful communications with Lotte and Frederick before the exchange and it was nice to meet Frederick on our arrival. The house is well equipped and very spacious and the location provided easy access to the city centre where there is plenty to see and do. We very much enjoyed our stay and Ghent is a very good base from which to explore Belgium. Easy and quiet motorway links to all the favourite destinations - we visited Bruges, Antwerp. Ostend, De Haan and travelled by train to Brussels. Would certainly recommend an exchange with this family. Alison, Robert and family

We were within a 10 minute walk to the tram leading to the center of Ghent, then to the train station to travel throughout Belgium and France, and elsewhere. Ghent was a delightful place to explore. The house was brand new and well appointed with everything we needed. We so enjoyed our visit to Belgium! Thank you, Bob and Catherine

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
Only 10mins on bike from the heart of the medieval town of Ghent.
'You have to visit Ghent' says 'Best in Travel 2011' from the Lonely Planet. They placed Ghent on the 7th place worldwide as 'Europe's best kept secret'. And CNN confirmed this opinion. Even the National Geographic Traveler Magazine (november 2008) nominated Ghent as the 3th most authentic historical destination in the world.
Furthermore, Ghent is only half an hour from Brussels, Bruges and Antwerp, three of the most beautiful cities of Europe. And only 70 kilometres from the Belgian coast. All of this easily accessible by train.
We give you the opportunity to visit and discover this attractive city, together with the other historical places and the rich Belgian culture of art, gastronomy and events.
We are a young couple with a little boy Felix (6/11/2015) living in a house in a lively neighbourhood. It has a big & bight kitchen, dining room and living room downstairs, a terrace & garden, 3 bedrooms, and a bathroom.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
Ghent is one of the most beautiful historical towns in Flanders (the Dutch speaking part of Belgium - most people also speak French and English). By car, our house is five minutes from the historical city-centre. By bike, just ten minutes. There is also a good system of public transportation that can get you to town in no time. Furthermore, by train/car Ghent is only half an hour from Brussels, Bruges and Antwerp, three of the most beautiful cities of Europe. It's 70 kilometres from the Belgian coast.

Besides its beautiful towns, its coast and its monuments, Belgium is also known for its fabulous kitchen, its friendly people and the good life in general.
