Pros: Really lovely place in a fabulous location. The room was comfortable and spacious, and well kitted-out. The bed was very comfortable and it was very quiet despite the central location. Our hosts were lovely, and breakfast was delicious!

Best location, and such a fun characterful place to stay.
Pros: It had a lot of character, the entrance through a vintage furniture store, and the room furnishings were in the style of the vintage modern furniture from the store. Clean, Simple & just good.

The closest to Grevensteen you could get - with the bonus of a filling breakfast to set you up for the day.
Pros: The property is a close to Gravensteen as you could get. In fact you could only get closer if you had booked with the ghost of a past Count. The property is at the back of a furniture shop and you can get down at a tram stop that is diagonally opposite. See details below.it is a nice retreat to get to after a day of being out and about. The host prepares a massive breakfast to keep you fuelled up for the morning and beyond! Enjoy.
Cons: Nothing to dislike. Alas because it had been raining we did not get to sit outside. Now a note about the tram situation - which has nothing to do with the property. All maps (except for one that comes from the tourist info office nearby - and you have to ask specifically for it) do not show current tram line numbers, destinations and colours correctly - so be prepared for some confusion. Even some of the maps at the tram stops are not right as there are constant road works and tram works which change final destinations. Old maps, such as the regular tourist maps, show sections of tram lines that no longer exist.. There are two trams that will get you very close to the property. Tram 4 (Red) starts at Ghent St Pieter’s train station and terminates at Lange Streenstraat so it is not possible to get off at the wrong stop. The final stop at Lange Steenstraat is behind Gravensteen and you have to walk to the property over cobble stones (4 minutes, 420 m) - you get to walk besides and in front of Gravensteen. This is a good choice because you will see where the entry gate is - unless you have luggage that will be difficult to move/carry over the cobblestones - but it is not too far. However with the same tram ticket, you can get off Tram no 2 at Rabat stop and change to Tram no 4 (Green) in the direction of Mille Leeuw (not Evergem). If you are not sure, just confirm the tram goes to Gravensteen, then get out at the third stop - which is Gravensteen. This stop is right in front of the castle. Turn back in the direction you have come from and walk around 100 m, then cross the road to the property. There are other ways that people like to tell you to go by transferring in the centre of the old city, but the two ways above are simpler.

Highly recommended from a location point of view. Very cosy and comfortable.
Pros: The location is superb.We loved the breakfast that was carefully laid out on time each morning for us, considering our choice for vegetarian meal. The host was very polite and welcoming. Thank you so much.
Cons: Nothing in particular. I think it was all okay . Cant think of anything that needs fixing.
