There is a small market within walking distance. The tram into town is also close. The boat was pleasant to stay in, and the host was great.

Bart is a fantastic host. The boat house room was fun, hopefully he’ll be able to get AC installed in the future. Very convenient to the tram and a few restaurants. We’ll definitely stay there again when in Ghent

Acceuil prévenant et soigne. Un tres joli logement atypique, décoré avec soin et parfaitement dans le thème. Le bateau est a deux pas du tram pour visiter le centre ville. Un endroit calme et reposant qui le rend tres agréable.

Gent als Tagesausflug

Das Hausboot ist sehr schön. Von innen sehr gut und modern eingerichtet. Auf dem Deck müsste man den Boden etwas in Ordnung bringen. Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich. Das Frühstück tip top. Wir waren sehr zufrieden.
