On the first and second floor you'll find the bedrooms and two bathrooms (think pink and a bath tub). Each room has a double bed, wit one of the rooms having two more single bed available. The room in the attic has the most breathtaking view over Ghent.
The ground floor
Here you'll find a fully equipped open kitchen with a large dining table, which is perfect for your lazy breakfast or early evening drinks before you dash into town. And, if you feel up for it, there is a cosy corner / room for an evening of Netflix (I never use any TV when I am a weekend away!)
