Quiet piece of Gent history

Wonderful loft studio. Fantastic central location in downtown Gent. Located overlooking a canal in an old grain mill. It was so cozy and comfortable. Unbelievably quiet. We slept so well here I didn't want to leave. WalkindGravensteen, food, chocalate

This studio loft had a great view of the Leie River. We booked this for a several weeks and felt at home immediately. Grocery stores, a fresh produce market, and a castle(!) are not even a 5-minute walk away. And you are right above a coffee shop and near a variety of restaurants.The old mill structure is so unique and really set the tone for our stay in the historic city of Gent.

Prachtige locatie

We hebben genoten van Gent en van het feit dat we zo centraal in de stad konden verblijven, in deze oude molen. Mooi dat historisch erfgoed zo bewaard blijft. De keuken was prima, met goed fornuis, oven en koelkast. De vriezer werkte niet goed. We misten een tweede goede stoel. Er is geen TV, maar de wifi is prima. In de woning is een klein trapje naar het toilet. Het bed prima, 160 breed, lag prima maar is erg laag. Heerlijk dat er zoveel ruimte was en goede verlichting.
