Nothing much, Eric made it right arranging another room for us with the initial incomfort we had in the first room at the base floor. Thank you again for doing this!

Eric is one of the best hosts you could ever dream to have! Even tho, there was a slight inconfort for us in the beginning, Eric insisted to make it right for us, it was wonderful! Seriously, this has been so relaxing for us, it took me one week to come back from this trip and write this review. The place is also right in the center, next to the canal, you'll be in the right place to visit the city! For sure, if we come back to Gent, we'll stay with him. Thank for everything! We look forward to our Antwerp at your other place!

Street was busy during the day, the front room of the suite is visible to the public which gives you that "living in a fishbowl" feeling. There are drapes and grills to cover the windows, but then it blocks the canal view. A gauzy curtain or mesh screen might serve for better privacy. There is no shower, but a large sunken tub with a shower head on a hose. I didn't try either as I was only staying one night. The tub lacked splash curtain and I didn't see an overhead holder for the shower head so it seemed like it would be awkward to take a shower. Take note there is a restaurant right next door. Normally it is listed as closing around 21:00 but the night I stayed they were open til 01:00 for some reason. Eric informed me the next day that is very unusual. Despite this the room was surprisingly quiet. The only bothersome part was occasional whiffs of cigarette smoke, but even that was infrequent and I didn't feel like I was being gassed out. (I have a sensitive sense of smell.) These negatives are IMHO really small compared to the quality and ambience the room offers. Would not deter me from renting again if I return to Ghent.

A sweet suite tastefully decorated with home furnishings, books and artwork. It felt like being home. Maybe not my home, but it felt more welcoming than virtually any commercial hotel room I've stayed in. The owner, Eric, dropped by to check if everything was alright and to offer breakfast. A kind man, and very helpful with info about the city. The self check-in process went seamlessly. Pre arrival texts offering access codes, transport info and exact directions to find the place (which isn't marked on the outside) were spot-on. Rooms (there are 2, it is a true suite) were generous sized and felt

Nothing, all was perfect!

We really had a wonderful stay! The owner was very nice and quick to answer our questions when we had some. The location could hardly be more central, only a few minutes by walk to the Korenmarkt. The living room is amazingly decorated and the whole place filled with all kinds of interesting books about painting, history etc. The room was incredible, with the most comfortable bed you'll ever see, and a bath behind thin curtains to relax in the light of candles...we definitely recommend it!

Very busy bar next door,very small wc,I prefer to have a stand up shower but had to sit in the bath to shower.The bed was a novelty but was difficult to get up from.

Great location to access the centre,canals,trams,bars and restaurants.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 nights at Schopenhauer, split between two very different suites. Both suites were spacious, comfortable and fun! There were books and pieces of art in both suites which made our stay interesting and enjoyable. Each suite had particular features - the sunken bed in the first one was very comfortable and the shower and outdoor space in the second one was great. In all the accommodation was great and added much to our visit to Ghent. The location of Schopenhauer was really good for exploring the city. A very few minutes walk took you to the heart of the city - the castle, the bell tower and cathedral.

Very peaceful, great interior design, good location on the canal and close to the historic centre. Some very nice cafes nearby (Alice and Jaqueline).

Cleanliness could be improved. We moved the tray on the coffee table and there was a condom wrapper under it. You could tell thay tray hasn't been moved in ages and not nice to find that in the room.

The room is very spacious and in a great location. There is a shared corridor that leads to the bathroom, but we didn't hear anyone else around while we were there. The view from the room is lovely and the self check in process very easy.

Toilet’s small and not very private. It’s quite hard to get out of bed ( being built into the floor) but we knew that when we booked. It’s a little tatty in places: wallpaper peeling above the bed, shutters not working.

It was quirky - lots of interesting books, artwork and furniture. Lots of space and in a fantastic location. It was easy to find and access the property. The landlord was very amenable.

The owners were super nice and available. The hammam was great! The view of the garden from bed is very relaxing

We booked the red suite and everything was perfect! The red mood is so cosy and well decorated. The bed is comfortable. Ideal for a lovely weekend as a couple.

By far the best way to explore Ghent.

We liked absolutely everything. There's not much to add to the accolades other guests already wrote. The location is absolutely superb in the "centre of everything", the host was very communicative, supportive and kind, the room is fabulously romantic and designed exactly as a honeymoon suite for couples interested in culture, history and arts. There's nothing else to add except for 10/10. We will happily return.

The sunken bed and bath is not ideal to get in and out of if someone is old or has mobility issues. The bed is comfortable once you are in it.

Great location, spacious and comfortable. The apartment is decorated very tastefully! The host is extremely helpful too
