Good journey in Gent
Pros: Excellent location to visit Gent. Be careful if you come by car - it is located in the low emission zone. The host has helped us with this. Note that there is a parking outside of the LEZ (Zuidparklaan) where you can leave the car easily, and it is not too expensive. From the parking lot you can take the tramway, 4 stops and you are there. Very convienient. The room was clean and very comfortable. The vynile machine in the room is a nice touch! The coffee shop directly downstairs is super good.
Cons: It seemed that we are dealing only with a chatbot on Booking. Sometimes the discussion was a bit laborious. I think it works well only if we do not have any big issue...

Clean and comfortable and ideally situated.
Pros: Very clean and comfortable and in an excellent position with a short walk to the main square. The voucher for a free coffee and pastry was a nice touch. No hesitation in recommending.
Cons: The towels were a little small and it would have been nice to have coffee making facility in the room.

Goed onderkomen in een gezellige buurt op loopafstand van alle bezienswaardigheden.
Pros: Klein ontbijt onder bij de bakker was inbegrepen. Gezellige plek om te vertoeven.
Cons: Het trappen huis was inderdaad wat smal, maar daar hadden wij niet echt last van aangezien wij geen hutkoffers bij ons hebben, maar altijd slim reizen ( weinig bagage)

Great location with caveats
Pros: The location was great - a 5-minute walk to St. Michael's bridge and 10 minutes to many sites in the old city. The room was very comfortable and most nights it was very quiet. The voucher for a free coffee and pastry at the bakery downstairs was a treat.
Cons: The two narrow winding flights of stairs to our room were a little daunting - especially when hauling suitcases. I think of a studio as having a kitchenette, but there were no appliances, nor even a coffee maker. There is a microwave in the landing one flight down.

Cozy place in a perfect location to explore historic Ghent
Pros: This property is the perfect location, very close to the center and all of the key attractions as well as the train station. You are within easy biking distance to the train station for any day trips (I took an easy day trip to Brugge) and you can walk to all of the key locations in the center. You can easily take a mid day break from sightseeing or an evening walk to see the evening lights or go out for a quick drink. It is located right above a bakery and coffee shop, and the owners offered a coffee and baked treat for the first morning breakfast. The apartment was extremely clean and the bed was very comfortable. It has two large windows which can be opened to let in the evening breeze, and also the place was air-conditioned. I did not need to use it as it cooled off nicely in the evenings. The check-in and checkout instructions were extremely clear, and the owner provided good communication. The availability of a record player and some vinyls was an unexpected and lovely touch.
Cons: As noted in the materials, there is a very steep two-story stairway that winds upstairs to the room. I had a large suitcase that was very heavy and ended up having to make several trips to get things up the stairway, but it was entirely worth it. If you open the windows, the street outside can be a little bit noisy if you are light sleeper, but I use white noise on my phone at night, so for me this is not a problem. Close or tilt the windows at night to avoid mosquitoes in the room.

Pros: Rustig en direct in de stad. Ruim eenvoudig maar doeltreffend
Cons: Erg smalle trap naar boven. Maar gaf geen problemen.
