Property details

A character-filled studio in Ghent's city center, blending soaring ceilings, wooden beams & city views with everything you need for a great stay. - Sleeps 2 | studio | 1 bed | 1 bath - Exposed wooden beams & high ceilings w/ city center views - Full kitchen: stove, oven, dishwasher, coffee maker & more - Walk-in shower ensuite + separate toilet - Self check-in w/ lockbox - flexible arrival - Pet-friendly | Breakfast café directly downstairs Quiet hours: 22:00 to 09:00. Pets: Not allowed. Smoking: Not allowed. Events: Not allowed. Suitable for: children and infants. Additional rules: Canal-city charm awaits you in the heart of one of Belgium's most captivating medieval cities. Set on the second floor of a character-filled building, this studio apartment pairs original architectural details - think soaring ceilings and exposed wooden beams - with a thoughtfully equipped kitchen and a genuinely comfortable place to rest. Whether you're here for Ghent's world-class museums, its lively restaurant scene, or simply to wander its cobbled streets, this is a base that earns its keep. Living space The open-plan layout brings the kitchen and living area together under those generous high ceilings, keeping the atmosphere light and unhurried. Natural light fills the space through windows that look out over the city center - an ever-changing backdrop that's especially atmospheric in autumn and winter, when Ghent's illuminated facades and cosy café glow come into their own. A TV is available for quieter evenings in. Sleeping arrangements The bedroom area offers a double bed with full bed linens and hangers for your wardrobe. A dressing area provides a practical touch, giving the sleeping space a sense of separation and order within the studio layout. Kitchen & dining The kitchen is well set up for guests who want more than a kettle and a microwave - though both are here. You'll find a full stove and oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker, cooking basics, and a complete set of dishes and silverware. A hot water kettle rounds out the setup. For mornings when you'd rather let someone else do the cooking, there's a breakfast and lunch spot directly below the apartment. Bathroom The ensuite bathroom features a walk-in shower, hair dryer, and shampoo. A separate toilet adds an extra layer of everyday practicality. Towels, bed sheets, soap, and toilet paper are all provided. Practical details Entry is via self check-in with a lockbox, so arrival is flexible and straightforward. Paid parking is available off premises. Heating keeps the apartment comfortable through Belgium's cooler months. The apartment is pet-friendly - your four-legged travel companion is welcome. Location You're in the center of Ghent - a city that rewards slow exploration. The historic Gravensteen castle, the Graslei waterfront, and the city's celebrated food and drink scene are all within easy reach on foot. The neighborhood immediately around the apartment is animated with restaurants and bars, making it easy to step out and find something good at almost any hour. .

This was a great place to stay in Ghent. It is centrally located in a lively part of town with many great restaurants within walking distance. It was also close to tram stops, making it easy to get around. We were in town for an event at Universiteit Gent, & this location was perfect: it is close enough to the school to be an easy walk, & far away enough not to feel like you are on campus. The apartment was large, clean, & had comfortable furniture. There was plenty of space, & it was bigger than we expected from the photos. One thing to note: a nearby bar/restaurant stays open pretty late, so there was some crowd noise outside the apartment late into the night. This wasn't a problem for us, but if you are a light sleeper or go to bed early, it might be an issue. If you enjoy staying somewhere lively, with plenty of food/drink/shopping options, & you want to be highly walkable with a great sense of life in Ghent, this is the place to be. We would definitely stay there again.
