Our house is located just outside the city center of Gent. We have a very good public transportation network close to our house. You can take the bus to the trainstation and the tram to the city center. You can also go by bike to the center of Gent.
From Gent you can easily visit Brugge, Brussels, Antwerp and you are close to Holland (Amsterdam, 1,5 hours by train) and France (Paris, 1,5 hours by train).
A car is not really necessary to visit Belgium and neighbour countries.

During summertime Gent is a very lively city with a lot of restaurants, bars, music festivals, theatres, markets,... Not only Gent but also several other cities are very pleasant during Belgian summertime. We can give you a full list and website with all the events.
Gent is a historical city in the same style as Brugge (Venice of Northern Europe), but much bigger and livelier in the evening. Old houses and façades, small cobbled streets, canals and rivers, parks,...

If you want to visit Belgium, Gent is an excellent choice!
By the way, best in Travel 2011 of Lonely Planet has awarded Gent with the 7th Place!!!

We are a young couple with a little boy called Noah (born 18th of June 2011). My girlfriend is working as a teacher and I am working as a sales manager in the medical field.
We recently bought the house and we love its location and the space we are having here. I was born in Brussels but I am now really fascinated about Gent.
We like travelling a lot and we are open for any kind of destination, it may be one of our neighbour countries or a little bit further, nature, sea, mountains, city as long as we can relax and enjoy life it is okay for us.

We like the social and the surprise aspect of exchanging houses. We like to trust people and give always the benefit of the doubt.
We speak Dutch, English, French, Spanish and Portuguese so we can communicate in any language you want!
We have done several exchanges to England, Spain, Holland and France and all of them have been a great succes.

Looking forward to exchange our home with you!

We guarantee that all e-mails will be answered.

Maartje, Stijn and Noah
