The Space:

Ghent rewards curious visitors — those who linger over a canal at dusk, chase down a hidden café on a cobblestone side street, or spend an afternoon losing track of time in a world-class museum. This studio gives you a quiet, well-equipped base right in the middle of it all, without the noise that usually comes with a central location.



Living space

Inside, the studio is bright and thoughtfully laid out, with warm tones and natural light keeping the atmosphere relaxed and easy. Room-darkening shades mean you can sleep in without interruption, and the dedicated workspace makes it just as practical for a working trip as a leisurely one. A TV, iron, and hangers round out the everyday comforts, and the heating keeps things cosy as Ghent moves into its cooler months.



Kitchen & dining

The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering — you'll find a refrigerator, stove, microwave, hot water kettle, coffee maker, and toaster, along with cooking basics, dishes, and silverware. Whether it's a proper sit-down meal or a quick breakfast before a day of sightseeing, everything you need is here.



Sleeping arrangements

The bedroom is set up for two guests, with fresh bed linens, extra pillows and blankets, and room-darkening shades for a restful night's sleep. A washer and dryer are available on-site, so packing light is a genuine option for longer stays.



Bathroom

The bathroom includes a hair dryer, shampoo, and hot water, with towels, soap, and toilet paper provided as part of the essentials.



Outdoor

Step outside and you have access to a patio or balcony and a backyard - a calm spot to start the morning with coffee or close out the evening with a drink. It's one of those details that makes a short-term stay feel less transient.



Location

The studio sits in a quiet neighbourhood close to Citadel Park, one of Ghent's main art and museum sites, with everyday shops just around the corner. Ghent's historic centre - home to the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, the Gravensteen castle, the three famous towers, and some of the city's best restaurants and cafés - is a 10-minute bike ride away. Shared bikes and e-bikes are available through apps like Donkey Republic and Dott. For those arriving by car, paid parking is available off-site. Ghent is also well-connected by train, and the Flemish coast - Knokke, Blankenberge, and Ostend - makes for an easy day trip.



Self check-in via lockbox means arrival is entirely on your own schedule, and long-term stays of 28 days or more are welcome.
