Light and airy loft for a group
The loft was perfect for the four of us. Location is a short walk to the center of Ghent. Across the canal was a hidden gem--Industrie Museum. And a lovely Italian restaurant. The loft was light and airy, the bathrooms modern. The common area has a nice seating area, a huge dining table and an adequate kitchen and a small powder room. Common area is up one flight of stairs, 3 bedrooms and baths a second and the fourth bedroom another flight (in case stairs are a problem). The host was immediately responsive to all of our messages.

Great apartment for our extended family.
Our extended family of 7 including our infant grandson had a great stay. The apartment was well within easy walking distance of Gent’s historic center. We would definitely stay there again.

Unique place, lots of steps
Our whole family loved the loft. It was unique. The kitchen was more than fully equipped, although we would have liked instructions on how to use the oven/microwave. In the end, we were very grateful for the toaster. It took a day or so to get used to the steep staircases. This place probably would not be suitable for toddlers or less-mobile adults, but our 8-12-year-old grandkids loved the top floor and had no problem scrambling up the ladder-style steps to the top-floor loft. We had no problem walking to sites all over Ghent. The neighbors on the whole block were friendly and showed us how to use the parking meters on the street. The garage accommodates one medium SUV-style car. We were visited a few times by a small mouse on the kitchen level, but the kids found it entertaining. We recommend this spacious, interesting loft.

Charming home close to town
Spacious home with lots of character. Unique design. It was about an easy 7 minute walk to the central area of Gent and there were a couple of nice neighborhood restaurants and a small market even closer. We were able to drop our bags off earlier which was nice. Large windows and skylights let in lots of light, The more modern exterior of the building did not reflect the charm of the interior. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely loft!
We thought the apartment was lovely..cool, comfortable and spacious. It’s in a great location, a quiet area but near good places to eat and an easy walk to the centre. Host was easy to contact and prompt to reply. Only problem was the sofa cushions were a bit dusty, some of us a bit allergic… other than that, fabulous!

Holiday Fun
Lovely property with parking was perfect. Just 3 in our group so plenty of space to spread out and recharge after sightseeing and enjoying the holiday festivities. Safe quiet neighborhood, felt private yet relatively close to all the activities and attractions. The only negative for us were the scratchy towels and toiletries offered. Nice place to stay for people who enjoy walking and exploring, I would definitely recommend.

Enjoyable experience in a unique property steps from the centre of Ghent.
We enjoyed the location, the size, and the uniqueness of this property and would stay again in a heartbeat. The only minor complaint thay we had was that although the property was tidy and well equipped, it was not quite clean when we arrived. We communicated this upon our dwparture and I'm sure it will be rectified for future guests as the host was very redponse and communicative throughout the rental process. We did not let the minor issues affect our stay at the great property so close to the centre of Ghent. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

Brilliant place
Len was a fantastic host, he was really helpful. It was the perfect place to stay, tonnes of room for us and bikes on a trip to watch the Tour of Flanders. Great location too with only a 5-10 min walk to some great bars and restaurants. Thanks Len 👍

Beautiful and spacious
It's really a great, massive, open space. Very cozy, lots of room. Great showers and such. Very nice to hang out by the fireplace with your friends. There was an unfortunate problem our first night - during heavy rain, some kind of problem flooded the house with a really horrible sewage smell. The property owner responded and apologized immediately, but we had to live with the smell until the next morning when someone arrived to fix the problem, which originated from the garage. Hopefully the remedy means future guests won't have the same experience. Other than that, perfect, and great communication from the host.

Wonderful Stay for Large Groups
We had a travel party of 7 and Len's house was absolutely wonderful. The location to town was perfect and it provided enough space for everyone to relax during our visit to Ghent. It was clean and updated, and Len was a wonderful host. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip!

Great loft in a great neighborhood
Len was wonderful to deal with, and went out of her way to ensure you didn't have issues finding the place. Having a few beers in the fridge after a long day travelling was a very pleasant surprise. This place has everything you could want, fantastic space, toys for the young kids to play with, it's a long list..

Spacious loft apartment
Superb apartment about 10 minute amble along the river into main area of Ghent. Owner very welcoming, great explanation of amenities, places to eat etc. Lovely and clean, beer, wine and chocolates left for us also tea and coffee. Lovely bakery just round the corner and a Lidl not far away for those self catering but we ate out mostly, great choice of eateries.

We really liked this unit!
This was a really well equipped apartment, in a good location. The garage easily fit our 9 passenger van ( I was a little worried that we would have to find somewhere else to park). It was so nice that there was coffee and filters, milk, beer, champagne and snacks for us on arrival! We would definitely stay here again or recommend it to anyone.

Perfect base to explore Ghent
We needed somewhere for 3 couples to meet and share a short holiday in Ghent - The Grain Loft turned out to be perfect. Spacious, well appointed and furnished, clean and situated within easy walking distance of the centre, it was ideal. It is also close to local restaurants and shops including a supermarket. Arrangements with Len were very smooth and the "starter" supplies were much appreciated. Thanks from all of us for a lovely stay.

This house is awesom and absolutely beautiful inside. The pictures don’t do it justice. This was the nicest rental I have ever stayed in. There is plenty of space for everyone in your group. It’s a great location. Len went out of her way to make us feel welcome. There were even drinks in the fridge for us. I would absolutely stay here again.

The Grain Loft is great, as is Gent
This is a beautifully and cleverly renovated property, ideal for three couples and up to three children. The river is only metres away with its riverside walk into the centre and also very close to the excellent MIAT museum. The property is in a cosmopolitan area of Gent with a wide range of restaurants, cafes and mini-supermarkets and also the tram route into the centre. The owners are extremely hospitable and helpful, anxious to make sure you enjoy your stay.
