We usually refer to it as an "apartment" because the house is quite compact, but in reality, we rent out the entire house except for the ground floor. The house is a belle-etage style, meaning the main living areas are on the first and second floors, accessible via a staircase. The ground floor has a separate entrance and serves as a multi-functional space with a kitchenette and toilet. It is available for separate rental and can be used as a pop-up space, co-working area, meeting room, or even an art gallery, accommodating up to 10 people. This space is called deruimte.gent and offers a flexible setup for various creative and professional uses.

I’m an open-minded, ever-busy entrepreneur who thrives on making life easier for others. Efficiency and creativity are my fuel, and I love turning ideas into action. I have a deep curiosity for different cultures and a passion for travel—Thailand holds a special place in my heart. It’s where I soak up inspiration, new perspectives, and, of course, incredible food. Once a true party animal, I’ve now embraced the joy of great company, good wine, and long, relaxed dinners with friends. Or sometimes, just unwinding at home with a good conversation and a glass of something nice. My Seven Favorite Life Truths: Make peace with your past—don’t let it steal your present. What others think of you is none of your business. Time heals almost everything—give it time. Happiness starts with you—no one else is responsible for it. Don’t compare your journey to anyone else’s—you never know their full story. Stop overthinking—it’s okay not to have all the answers. Smile—you don’t have to carry the weight of the world. Life’s too short not to enjoy the ride.

The property is nestled between two of the city’s green oases, offering a perfect balance of history and nature. On one side, you’ll find the Small Beguinage, O.L.V. ter Hoyen, a hidden gem dating back to 1235. It is one of the best-preserved beguinages from before the French Revolution and is proudly listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A peaceful retreat with lush greenery, it’s open for visitors who want to step back in time and soak up the serene atmosphere. Directly opposite lies King Albert Park, a beautifully designed neo-Baroque park created in the 1930s on the grounds of the former Zuidstation. For those arriving in the city from the motorway, this multi-dimensional park serves as a welcoming green gateway. It features a playground for children (0-12 years), a skating zone, and plenty of open space—a perfect spot to relax and unwind.
