After I read about this truly unique "guesthouse" I decided to check it out.
It was even better than expected. It may only be a "bed and breakfast", but it is one of world class.
Super-friendly owners. The 18th-century restored mansion has kept its original features while incorporating dazzling flashes of modernity.
It made my stay feel like a visit to a friend's grand country house.
Ghent has a surprisingly large number cultural and musical activities on offer, and is a great medieval city.
