We stayed at Maison Drappier for three nights in September. The communication with the host, Emma, was good before & during the stay. She lives with her family above the apartment, so is on hand to address any problems & offer local recommendations. We met Emma in person during our stay, and our chat with her was very enjoyable. The apartment itself was great: it is modern, comfortable and very spacious. We didn’t use the patio area, but it was available. The owners have provided plenty of interior lighting to compensate for the relative absence of natural light. Emma offers everything needed for a comfortable stay, from the practical (a clotheshorse for wet clothes) to the decorative (chocolates & sweets on a plate). The apartment was spotlessly clean on arrival. Location. The property is about a 12-15 minute walk from the Korenlei/Graslei area of the city centre. If travelling to Gent by train, the Oude Houtlei stop on the T1 tram route from Gent St Pieters station is right outside the property. We were aware of the trams passing by, but we didn’t find the noise intrusive, and indeed the property was quiet for a city centre location. There is a convenience store & bakery down the road, with a large supermarket at Couter, about a 7-8 minute walk. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Maison Drappier and would recommend it unhesitatingly.

Location & staff

Noise from upstairs

A very well appointed apartment Every thing you needed for a comfortable stay

Spacious. Centrally located and very comfortable with a nice outside area. Helpful and friendly host. Really convenient private parking.

As it is so central, the trams pass right outside the bedroom window. They stop from around 12pm but earplugs recommended.
