BART was a fantastic host and the houseboat was lovely. Spotlessly clean, comfortable and great location - peaceful. Highly recommended. Thank you, Bart, for your warm hospitality.

Gent als Tagesausflug
Das Hausboot ist sehr schön. Von innen sehr gut und modern eingerichtet. Auf dem Deck müsste man den Boden etwas in Ordnung bringen. Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich. Das Frühstück tip top. Wir waren sehr zufrieden.
