Jacob’s Getaway
We, Gwynn and Kenzo, are welcoming you in Ghent. For us the nicest aspect of working in tourism is meeting people, listening to stories and experiencing new impressions and cultures. On our own trips we learned that there is a broad spectrum of hosts. At one end, the person who wants to spend an entire day drinking coffee with the guests. At the other end, the business person who has little time and works with a key in a box. We like to interact with our guests, but only if they want that. That’s why we work with a key in a box, at the door. In the evening we can drop by to offer a local drink and help out if there are questions. We like to walk the extra mile for our guests.
Jacob’s Getaway is located right in the heart of the city centre. Unwind in this spacious and gracefully renovated location. Everything you need is right here: kingsize beds, separate sofa beds, private bathrooms, large showers, a big bathtub, a washing machine, a well equipped kitchen with oven and microwave and a charming living room with television. This clean and cosy getaway is the perfect spot to discover stunning Ghent by foot. Everything is in walking distance from your stay. Time to wander around the historic streets and fall in love.
