Feel yourself at home in this cosy flat with view on the canal. The flat is entirely furnished and has a magnificent view on the water of the Coupure canal. There is a terrace in the back - a perfect place to relax after a busy day. The flat (100m²) has a cosy living room, a design table in the diner area and a smart TV for chrome cast. the equipped kitchen, bathroom and separate toilet completes it all. There are 2 large bedrooms, both of them with direct access to the terrace.
I am smitten by Ghent. Ever since we studied at Ghent University, my husband and I love the city and we come here very often. We live in the countryside near Brussels, but every chance we get, we come to Ghent to relax, enjoy good food, dive in the positive vibes of the city. We discovered some great places over the years that we love to share with our guests.
'Ghent by the water' is situated on bank of the canal 'Coupure' next to the ancient bridge 'Rozemarijn'. There is a tram behind the corner with a direct line to the train station Gent Sint-Pieters. We ar situated on a biking street and on a kajak/canoe route. Other small or bigger botes for rental are available a bit further on the Coupure. A few minutes walk (§') and you arrive in the historical city centre of beautiful Ghent; On the other side there the 'Watersportbaan' and the 'Blaarmeersen' where you can find multiple sports and place to relax (even a beach !). Sports, relaxation and a magnificent view on one side, the historical centre and cosy streets on the other side.
