Getting Around
Since we are in the very center, you can discover the city best on foot. Everything is closeby.
We were able to spend winter break week in this lovely apartment centrally located in Ghent. We used a globe.
It's a second home which is normally rented out, but we were in easy contact with our host Jessie.
We really enjoyed the location and the fact that everything was quite new and well organised. We walked around Ghent and visited smaller cities like Bruges and Kortrijk during the week.
We can warmly recommend it.
Jessie and her family were fabulous guests. They took great care of our cat Java and left our place spotless. Communication was easy and we loved seeing pictures of their adventures in NYC. We welcome them back anytime!
Maria and her husband were excelkent guests. Communication was smooth, left the place neat and tidy and gave useful suggestions. Highly recommended.
We had a wonderful time in Corrie and her family’s apartment. It was spacious and in a super charming neighborhood. The info that Corrie provided was very clear and communication was smooth. Java the cat is adorable and a true cuddle cat. We cannot thank them enough and hope to welcome them in Ghent soon. This was our first exchange and we loved it.

Jessie
We are Jessie and Peter, a Belgian couple in our late 50 'ies. I manage a student residence for the University of Leuven and my husband works for the European Commission as an expert in digital finance. We are avid travelers, and have been all over the world. We lived in Washington DC for 5 years while my husband was working as a diplomat. We have 2 adult daughters who left the nest but love to travel with us sometimes. We love animals and have 3 cats who live with us in our main home in Brussels. We have a second home in the wonderful, historic city of Ghent which we offer for exchanges., either sim, non-sim, or globe. Our waterfront penthouse in Ghent is right in the center and the ideal spot to discover the historic city. You will always have the place to yourself since our main home is in Brussels. We are open to all destinations.
