We stayed with a group of six at Marie’s place for a weekend.
The place is very nice, cozy and clean.
Fresh linen and towels were provided.
Check-in and check-out was a breeze and communication was very easy and quick.
Marie provided us with nice tips for the beautiful city of Ghent.
Nice squares with plenty of bars and beer cafes.
Thanks again for everything!
