    There was no such thing. We did have a slight problem with finding the keys but received help very quickly :).

    The apartment was very spacious and clean. Equipped with everything we could need and more. The host also answered all of our questions fast. It's located in a very quiet part of the city but at the same time only minutes away from the beautiful city centre, shops and restaurants.

    Nothing.

    The apartment was perfect for our stay in Ghent. Location - near the tram stop and located near a local bakery and restaurants. It was also an easy walk into town. Apartment was clean and well stocked, with linens. Although I didn't prepare any meals, the kitchen had everything you would need to cook a meal. The owner was very responsive and friendly.

    the bathroom has a terrible damp smell and it is on suite to the main bedroom. thus if you leave the door open to try air it out the whole bedroom smells. we opted later to keep the door shut but the smell was terrible. there is no kettle. the tap is supposed to give boiling water but its not hot enough for a cup of tea. i recommend a kettle is added to the kitchen.

    very spacious. kitchen well equipped with all you need but no kettle/boiler). nicely decorated and not too far from the city centre. tram stops very close to the apartment which is convenient if you plan to use the train to get there.

    No parking anywhere near by. main carpark is only 600m away but to drive to it is nearly 6km and 20min drive due to the cities unique one way and pedestrian system! However if you don't have a car with you then it's the ideal place to be able to walk to everything.

    Fantastic new apartment, excellent facilities, has everything you need for a mini home away from home. High end appliances, location was great for walking into centre of Gent.

    We loved our stay in Ghent. The apartment itself was very modern, and was equipped with everything we needed for our short stay, including a high chair and cot for our 1 year old. It has a kitchen and laundry facilities so it would also be suitable for longer stays. It was super easy to get to by tram from Gent-Sint-Pieters, and not too far away from the city centre (even with a pushchair over the cobbles). Anja the host communicated all the details in good time.

    Some tips about the parking would be helpful but it’s not about the apartment it’s about the whole city:)

    The bathroom unfortunately had a pungent strong odour of damp and mould which made it difficult to be in the room or to even have that door open. A functional exhaust would make a difference. Everything else was great!

    The whole apartment was great, it had everything you need and was very comfortable, the kitchen was very well equipped, beds super comfy, heating great, decor great, location great.

    The heating, while effective, is a bit noisy.

    The apartment was recently renovated, and it's both awesome and stylish. It's equipped with everything you might need, making it feel like a home away from home. Features include a large TV screen, WiFi, a printer, an automatic coffee machine with beans, essential kitchen supplies, blankets for the couch, board games, and toys for both children and grown-ups. It's an ideal space for families, couples, and even singles. The location is ideal, situated in the quiet city center just a few meters away from a tram stop.

    There is a bad smell in the bathroom, maybe from the condenser dryer. But we got used to it after a while and it wasn’t an issue.

    There was not a lot of English instructions or info but we figured most things out. There was an occasional sewer smell in the apartment...sometimes stronger than others...I noticed Ghent in general has this smell...it would not deter us from booking again.

    We could not figure how to pay for the tram so we walked...honestly...I think it was almost as fast and we got to see the neighbourhood on the way. We just had carry on so dragging checked luggage might have been a pain. We stayed 8 nights and probably would have felt claustrophobic in a hotel room...this was like home. Well stocked...great coffee machine (with coffee), fridge, kitchenware, toiletries etc.

    Instructions to find the keys were sent to us in Dutch and somehow didn't translate very well so took us a bit of time to figure out. Everything else was great.

    It was as pictured, super comfy, fully equipped bathroom and kitchen. Everything you need to cook and feel at home too. In a quiet residential pedestrian street. Good walking distance from the centre. We loved our stay

    It was cold in the apartment even with all the electric heaters switched on. although it’s important to note that we visited in March and it was particularly cold. The bathroom and bedroom smelt a bit musty maybe because there is no window or fan in the bathroom.

    well equipped kitchen, really comfortable king size bed, spacious and modern apartment which is all very well designed and new

    Just getting really picky, there was no oven tray inside the oven. Just the grid one. But it was no issue at all for us.

    The Location is great. Direct, close and quick public transport to Main train station. The apartment for 4 people really well equipped. Big shower. Great heating. Our stay was great.

    The lack of response from the owner who decided her holidays were more important than responding to her guests, the fact that the apartment was only set up for non-English guests (very few instructions in English), bath towels were the size of hand towels, the television didn’t work, the washing machine and dryer again was difficult to use with proper instructions

    The location was its most redeeming feature

    Good value and great space, some issues in the apartment regarding comfort but overall I recommend.

    • Apartment - Ground Floor
    • Stayed 4 nights

    My only two complaints are that 1) the apartment has no AC, which was fine during the day, but it made sleeping in the apartment a little difficult during the night, and because the apartment is on the ground floor, I could not open the windows without creating a security risk; and 2) the main bathroom is interior-facing with no vents or fans, and the smell of mold was sometimes strong (however, I did not see actually any black mold growth). Because the bathroom is off of the bedroom, it was unpleasant to be smelling bathroom mold while I was trying to sleep. I can also see this becoming a health hazard in the future.

    The location is close enough to the city center to be convenient, but far enough to be quiet. I loved the apartment's living room and kitchen, and the amount of amenities provided were excellent. The apartment is very big!

    The listing included AC, but the apartment didn’t have it. We likely wouldn’t have booked without air conditioning and we needed it as it was mid-80s during the day and didn’t significantly cool at night. We did open the windows, but the alleyway outside the apartment gets a lot of sun during the day and didn’t provide much air flow.

    Apartment was in a good location - around a 10-min easy tram ride from the train station and then a 10-15 minute walk to central Ghent. There are also some bakeries and restaurants a block away from the restaurant, but we walked into town each day and didn’t try them. The apartment also had a washer and dryer, which is one of the reasons we selected this property. It was clean and comfortable and had nearly everything we needed for our 3-night stay.
