Location, Apartment, Hosts...Perfect

This apartment is perfectly located within the old town, close to historical and other attractions. Restaurants, cafes and shops, you’ll want for nothing, yet peaceful at night. Only a short stroll from the Hauptbahnhof. Comfortable bed, warm and very clean. The kitchen has everything you need if you wish to be self sufficient. Rob and Sara are wonderful hosts, from the initial communication right through our stay, they were there to answer questions and offer advice if you ask. Although the apartment is modern in furnishings and comfort, the bones are old (especially by Australian standards) and I felt it a privilege to stay in a place so full of character and history. Would definitely recommend this stay.

Amazing Apartment

A true gem - an historic home right in the city center. We felt like long time residents. Everything was close, market, restaurants, shops. Rob and Sara are wonderful, and very attentive to the details of our stay. We can't wait to go back.
