Geldmunt Apartment

This is a sweet, quirky old house in a perfect location. We appreciated the space to store our bikes inside and also the washing machine. Perfect for our bike tour. The house is very well equipped including a dishwasher and lots of kitchen equipment

The house wasn't very well suited to being comfortable in the exceptionally hot temperatures we experienced. The location means it is noisy. Easily solved with earplugs

This was an amazing location - reality is better than the photos! Amazing views of the castle and river from your bedroom window! Perfectly placed for any breaks you may need from the day. We were in Gent in an unusually hot period up to 35°! We were able to sleep in the apartment - keeping the shutters at the front of the house closed during the day helped a lot. Gent is a beautiful city great for a stay!

The location was excellent and the house had lots of charm and unique features. The view is amazing and the facilities are good.

First off, the location is SPECTACULAR! Right across from the Gravensteen castle, it is in an incredible location. And you can walk to much of the city from here. The apartment itself is on multiple levels and has a surprising amount of space. It's in an historic building which appears to be over 250 years old. Again, very memorable. Lastly, the host was great at communication and seemed very nice.

A couple of relative minor things to note here. For one, the upstars bedroom is accessed via a very steep set of stairs/ladder that may not be suitable for all guests (particularly those who are older or have any mobility issues). Lastly (admittedly a minor quibble), for some reason the one shower lacks any sort of a shower curtain or privacy. This may cause some consternation for some and could be easily remedied by the host. Aside from this, the place was spectacular!

The property is breathtaking and it is in an incredible location, so close to town but yet remarkably peaceful. Very close to great bars and restaurants with stunning views from the house windows of the castle. Lydia is a very generous host and left shower gel, towels, soap and everything we needed was at the house. The kitchen is very well equipped too.

Everything was incredible and Lydia was very helpful.

The apartment is located in an old house with all windows looking to the medieval Gravensteen castle. It is spread on three levels , Kitcken and dinning , living and up in the attic the bedroom. It is decorated with historic and artistic flair but having all modern facilities the modern traveler might need ( including washer and dish washer). It was a beautiful surprise for a short vacation as was town Ghent itself .

Stairs up and down the apartment were challenging for us, travellers of a third age , but were part of the beauty of this location

We were emailed a code several days prior to arrival. The door code worked perfectly.

The living areas were clean, but the walls and carpeting were showing signs of wear. But overall cleanliness was good. The stairs to top were steep, as stated by the owner so I just slept on sofa and was quite comfortable. It was really not a problem.

The location is awesome. Picturesque. Charming apartment. Great view of a medieval castle just outside the front windows.

The ladder/steps up to the attic were a little tricky when bleary-eyed in the middle of the night to pee, however, added to the overall charm. Weekend crowds were a little overwhelming.

Location, facilities and views

The photos of this 'apartment' do not do it justice! It is a full 3 story historic townhouse. Such an amazing location just opposite the Gravensteen castle yet super quiet on the night. The kitchen is fully stocked and the living room and bedroom is massive. The host was very helpful and communicative. I would definitely stay here again if I ever return to Ghent.

As mentioned, there are a lot of stairs and the stairs up the bedroom is pretty much a ladder so not good for anyone with mobility issues. Also the shower is open (although on a mezzanine floor and hidden behind a wall) so best for couples or very very good friends who are not shy!
