“Falsely Advertised & Disappointing Attitude”
Location is fantastic and the city is really great. The apartment has some nice stylistic features and the main bed is comfortable. The terrace is a pretty nice place to sit and relax if the weather is good.

“A relaxing stay in a truly unique and very cool townhouse”
The property has a really unique design and layout that really adds to your stay in Ghent. The interior is comfortably furnished with a relaxing feel. The terrace is also a lovely spot to sit in the sun. Finally, in terms of location, you are a stone’s throw away from the very centre of the city.

“Lovely aesthetic for a really unique comfortable stay”
The location, the inspiring deco, the unique aesthetic, and our host was so kind and welcoming. Very interesting learning about the space through the eyes of the decorator. The beds were by far the BEST on our long trip, very comfortable and relaxing. The view from bedroom is superb.

“Beautiful but not practical”
The property was visually beautiful. You could really appreciate the work that had gone into creating it. The road itself was very quiet, peaceful and the only 'disturbance' was the lovely chiming of the clock tower.

The property is beautiful, relaxing and quirky. The stairs to bedroom were tricky (and not for people with disabilities) but the apartment is excellently finished and the location is superb. Would stay again.

It was a long-awaited vacation in Europe, Ghent was the first city on our route, the flight was in the evening, Christoph met us at 11 pm, was in touch all the time and was so kind that he walked us to the parking lot and explained and showed us everything. Ghent is a fabulous city, the apartment only strengthened this impression, it is not just an apartment, it is a work of art, harmonious, worthy of Ghent. Not only did we get comfortable accommodation, the comfort of the bed was beyond anything we could have hoped for, our son was delighted with the secret bed... but also an adventure beyond the ordinary, a different way of looking at life. We drank all the wonderful coffee and no less wonderful tea that Christophe left for us on the terrace overlooking the carillon tower. I think that this housing can be considered one of the attractions of Ghent.

“Zen vibes, in a beautifully designed place right in the center.”
Centrally located in the heart of the center. Shelter 7 was a welcome retreat that soothes the soul. The Zen styling and ambiance helped make it a wonderful stay in Gent. Would highly recommend it and would happily return.

“Wonderful apartment right in the center of town”
This is not just a usual apartment, it's an experience. Very different from everything I knew, yet very beautiful and wonderfully furnished with kind of minimalistic equipment. It creates an allover feel-good atmosphere, plus it smells relaxing. Perfect location right in the city center, yet quiet due to the side street. Vincent, the Host, is super nice, everything was totally uncomplicated. Highly recommendable.
