My partner and I stayed in this apartment in December 2022 while visiting the Christmas Markets. The owner met us at the apartment and checked us in, and provided us with information about the apartment building (filled with mostly local students, very quiet) and directions for getting around. My partner had just badly sprained her ankle and was on crutches, so the several flights of stairs to enter the building and to the floor of the apartment were difficult, but the owner was quite helpful with our luggage and the mobility issue was entirely ours. The apartment is a small studio with a very small shower (from an American perspective) but with great instant hot water, wonderful water pressure and it was entirely functional. The location of the apartment is fantastic, as it’s an easy and very short walk to the end of the street and then across a main road and you are downtown Heidelberg. There is very easily accessible and usable public transportation within a block of the apartment as well, and a grocer and numerous restaurants within less than 5 minutes’ walk. Communication with the owner was swift and thorough, and he was very helpful. The on-site washers and dryers were useful, located in an outbuilding to the apartment building, but a bit difficult to use for someone like me who was unaccustomed to this particular manufacturer. The apartment owner did provide an overview of how to use the machines, so not remembering his instructions was entirely my fault. Overall, I would recommend this apartment for the wonderful location and ease of access to old Heidelberg, and I would not hesitate to stay there again.

The location was truly ideal - walking distance from everything. Our host, Joachim, was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient with us. The home is beautiful, well appointed, and we slept very well.

We met Joachim at our arranged time outside the building and he showed us the parking space under the building, my Audi a6 avant was a tight fit but she went in OK. The apartment has everything you need, and the location is spot on. The beds are comfortable and the WiFi is good. The kitchen is 'compact' but my wife was able to cook breakfast each morning! It was quite warm while we where there and we slept well with the window open, although a fan or an air con machine would be a good addition to the apartment. But, overall, I would stay there again and I recommend it.

Best thing about the property: LOCATION Owner met us at the unit and helped me get the luggage to the unit and showed me quickly how to use everything. Then took us to the garage down the road. I had learned only a few days before that we had to pay for the parking garage. It is NOT a 1 bedroom. It's one room with a tiny kitchen & tiny bathroom. We thought the internet wasn't working but the owner came right away and showed us what the issue was. So the next morning when we found that the coffee pot was broke we figured it would be fixed. He never did come by to fix it. The kitchen - 1 coffee cup. (I drink tea so I used it). The sink handle is gone so you just have to grab the top of the thing and hope you don't get the water too hot. Not a lot of space but that was fine for us. We didn't make dinner at this place since we were right there in downtown Heidelberg. No freezer in the frig. So do not get anything that needs to be frozen. The unit is cold due to the building just being older & not having insulation & the beautiful window. The wall heater is sort of covered by the two couches that are there - not sure if that is the issue. Owner did supply a portable heater. Extra blankets or rugs in the unit might help as well. Bed and couch felt hard but could be us. Cleanliness - While packing I checked under the bed to ensure we didn't miss anything - the cleaning crew needs to get under there and clean.
