Ghent - this is urban and young life, which we could enjoy from Claire and Jan's house in the best possible way. Your house is very well connected. The nearby supermarket OKay is super-okay. The tram is also around the corner and takes you to the center in 10 minutes. A few steps further is the Sint-Pieters train station, from where you can easily take wonderful trips to Bruges, Antwerp and the sea by train. We would like to thank Claire and Jan for the wonderful weeks we were allowed to spend in their beautiful town house and for the very friendly and helpful communication. Thanks also for the delicious traditional home-made meal on arrival!

Jan und Claire holten uns vom Bahnhof ab, bis zu ihrem schönen Stadthaus ist es nur ein kleiner Spaziergang. Wir fühlten uns ausgesprochen wohl dort, das Haus ist heimelig und bestens ausgestattet. Geschäfte sind gleich in der Nähe, und mit der Straßenbahn ist man in wenigen Minuten mitten in Gent. Unsere beiden Gastgeber hatten uns mündlich sehr gut instruiert, und sie hatten auch einen kleinen Stadtführer mit guten Tipps vorbereitet. Drei Beispiele von den vielen schönen Ausflügen, die wir (meist zu Fuß) in die Stadt unternommen haben: Die Abtei St. Bavo – mit einst einer der größten Abteikirchen Europas – ist jetzt ein wildromantisches Gelände, das von einer lokalen Initiative instandgehalten wird. Ganz in der Nähe und natürlich ein Must-see: der Genter Altar in der Kathedrale von St. Bavo. Hier haben wir, dem Tipp von Jan und Claire folgend, auf den virtuellen Schnickschnack verzichtet und waren ganz auf das originale Kunstwerk konzentriert – ein beeindruckendes Erlebnis. Ein weiteres Highlight unseres Besuchs war ein Mittagessen im Parnassus. Dieses soziale Restaurant ist in einer ehemaligen Kirche von Gent und Teil eines Integrationsprojekts. Unsere Zeit in Gent verging wie im Flug, am Ende trafen wir uns mit unseren Gastgebern zu einem Abendessen in einem typisch belgischen Lokal und ließen den Besuch bei einem guten Bier ausklingen. Lieber Jan, liebe Claire: Es war wunderbar, euch kennenzulernen – vielen Dank für alles, wir freuen uns auf ein Wiedersehen!

Read More...We had a great stay in Claire and Jan's lovely house which was very comfortable and clean and had everything we could possibly need. It is in a quiet area very conveniently located for the train station, the tram into the city centre and the bus to/from Charleroi airport. The walk into the city is well worth doing as it passes through some pleasant streets and then along the river and canals right into the centre. We were very impressed by Ghent. It is bigger than we expected with lots of fine buildings (from different periods), large squares and public spaces, magnificent churches, very good art galleries and a museum as well as countless restaurants and pubs. We would definitely recommend it for a city break. Claire and Jan were very friendly and helpful and gave us some good recommendations for eating, drinking and visiting both locally and in the city centre.

Read More...We cannot imagine anyone not feeling well in their house: It's spacous and lovely. We parked our car in a nearby parking garage (15 €/week) and cycled for two great weeks. It's easy to ride along the canals and rivers to get to the city center, which gets more beautiful each time you visit it. The is much to see and do there. Just relaxing there is fantastic. The city museum (STAM) is one of the best museums we have ever visited!!!!! Additionally, the fact that a good grocery store is not far from the house (only 300 meters away) is a big plus.

Nice town house in quiet neighbourhood near main station in Gent. Great for public transport: trains to most cities in Belgium and trams and buses nearby. Restaurants and pubs at walking distance and also in the historic city centre at 2 kms. Very small garden - we call it our patio ;) - just large enough for two people to eat in (or to hang a hammock).

Friendly, very quiet, almost sleepy, neighbourhood, but ideal for public transport within the city and to other cities.
May be you'll meet some of our welcoming neighbours.
The restaurants we've indicated are at walking distance.
Beautiful historic centre at 2 kms: you can walk (very nicely along the river Leie), cycle or take a tram.
Parking regulations aren't easy for visitors: we'll give more information should you wish to come by car.

One of the great European mediaeval cities with castle, cathedral (with famous Mystic Lamb by Van Eyck), and many other buildings. Interesting museums (about old and contemporary art, design, our very interesting local history...). What we particularly like: the historic centre is almost carless! Lots of places to eat and drink.
Our favourite museums: see below. Lots of information on https://visit.gent.be/en

We want you to feel at home. We'll try to give you as much information as you may need. We also like feedback.
Every Thursday morning a lady comes to clean: be friendly to her (she doesn't speak English), and try to arrange your belongings before she comes.
If you use our bikes, chain them very good, because many bikes got stolen in the city. Never leave them at the station.
