Gezellig appartement op een top lokatie!
Niks, ms wat kleine dingen bijv de entree is ‘s avond erg donker, een losse deurklink en we hebben niet uit kunnen vogelen hoe we de verwarming uit konden draaien in de huiskamer (maar dat kan natuurlijk aan ons liggen).

Lage, geräumiges Wohnzimmer, ausreichend Teelichter, Tee, Kaffee
Nicht richtig sauber, quietschende Türen, kein separater Schlafplatz im Wohnzimmer (nur 1 Schlafraum für alle), sehr kleines Bad mit fehlender Fußmatte

Sehr geräumiges und sehr nett und modern eingerichtetes Studio mit 2 Schlafzimmern, einem Wohnzimmer und einer Küche. Sehr gute Lage im Zentrum. Unser Studio war jenes direkt unter dem Dach, dadurch wunderbare Blicke aus den Fenstern über die Dächer von Groningen, alle Kirchtürme im Blick. Schlüssel im Schlüsseltresor beim Straßeneingang. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Nicht einfach zu bewältigen: der Stiegenaufgang. Die 3 Treppen sind steil. (Dafür ist man dann aber auch wunderbar über den Dächern.) Zweitens: Offenbar keine Möglichkeit, das Gepäck zu deponieren, wenn man früher ankommt oder später abreisen will. Drittens: Alle Nachrichten von der Vermieterin nur auf Holländisch. Kleinigkeiten bedürfen einer Reparatur, z.B. 2 Türklinken, Fensterdichtungen.

Ruimte van de appartement.
Badkamer aan de kleine kant.
Bed en breakfast maar breakfast niet inbegrepen in de prijs. Vraag je wat het kost, wordt antwoord gegeven maar er is geen ontbijt op zondag. Dus wel bijzonder om dit te noemen bed & BREAKFAST.
Geen enkele personeel gezien, gehoord.

Spacious apartment with a complete kitchen, in a relatively good location. It was very clean.
Despite some positive things (see above), there were several issues that counterbalanced the possibility for a good stay in this property, namely:
-1- Unprofessional manager: tried to advance the check-out time (clearly stated at 11:00 in Booking.com) without any valid explanation and in an unfriendly manner.
-2- Inappropriate behavior of staff: We were waiting for a phone call to resolve an issue (see point 5 below). Instead, this person knocked on our door and since we did not answer immediately, entered with her own key. This incident happened at 22:30.
-3- Very steep & dangerous staircase (we were on the second floor): Not suitable for elderly, disabled, or children.
-4- Wine local on the ground floor: with chatting/noises/parties till midnight
-5- Hot water was interrupted on the first night, but later resumed after complaining. Staff behaved inappropriately (see point 2 above)
-6- At times, a very foul odor coming from the bathroom sewer.
-7- No reception, no separate place for a breakfast, no possibility to have breakfast if you did not ask in advance. It is called “Bed & Breakfast”, but this term is not correct, should be simply called “Apartments”.
-8- Proximity of the place to a red-light district (not nice if you have children)

The one-bedroom apartment on the first floor was lovely - really comfortable with high quality furnishings, excellent shower and good kitchen area. The bed was really comfortable and the apartment had everything we needed for a one-week stay in Groningen.. It was 5 minutes' walk from the railway station and a couple of minutes' walk in to the city centre. Groningen is a fantastic city with lots of great museums, restaurants and things to see - and for running fans, a Parkrun!
The one-bedroom apartment was above a wine bar. The bar and the apartment are run by completely separate people, but the music and the sound of people talking from the bar came up through the floor of the apartment. The bar is open until 23:00 hours on Thursday night and until midnight on Friday and Saturday night. The music was on until the last people left at 1.30 am on Friday night! It was a real shame, as the people who run the apartments cannot control this and I really loved the apartment - I just wasn't a fan of the noise underneath. The two-bedroom apartments upstairs will be absolutely fine and free from noise, I think.

Location was very central and just minutes from the many bars, restaurants and the famous farmers market.
Very spacious living area. In reality this apartment could fit four as the sofa is huge and very comfortable.
I'd stay here again no problem.
While the location is central is just metres away from the red light street. It didn't bother us but if you've a younger family it's worth bearing in mind.
The sofa bed isn't comfortable at all but the massive separate sofa makes up for that.
Finally the bed linen is a bit worn but not the end of the world.

The property is in a very good location within reach to shops and local amenities which was very good. There was also a secured car park about 55m from the property which was really convenient and safe for me
I never had an issues during my stay at the property. Was well worth it. The staffs were hands on and were right there when we wanted anything. I will say a very big thank you to Samantha who made sure our stay at the property was comfortable enough that will make us wanna come back . I would definitely recommend this property.

Keys are at the premised so easy check in with friendly host that was very responsive to additional requests. Spacious apartment with all the amenities as described in the advertisement. Was clean and well stocked with coffee, tee and Dutch cookies. Suffcient cutlery - everying you can think of. The washing machine and drying rack was a life saver. Very comfortable beds. Best of all was the locality. Nestled in the heart of Groningen with various restaurants, bars and in between the Albert Hein and 2 Jumbos for food. Added bonus was the small wine shop De Barrel located below for Borrel and Hapjes. Zuiderdiep bus stop is about 200m from the apartment. We had a car and used the parking garage about 50m down in the same street which worked out perfect. Would stay again.
Last flight of stairs was very steep - Dutch style - more difficut with heavy luggage but it adds to the experience of feeling the Dutch living. The crockery (plates and wine glasses) we very limited. Would have liked a few more extra plates. Only 2 champagne glasses and less than 4 wine glasses. Most likely due to previous breakages that have not been replaced.

Perfect location. Right in the center. Big sitting/living room area with a beautiful chandelier. 10min walk from train station. Would definately stay there again.
4.0
The position, close to the center and quiet.
Kitchen (with coffee) and washing machine useful for a longer stay.
If compared to the price: a lot of steep staircases to do with kids. Small bathroom with too much perfume (not enough to cover the sewer smell). Poor maintenance of spaces and furniture.

Location was in the heart of the city. Room was very spacious with very high ceiling. Furnitures aesthetics was good. Heating, bathroom was very nice.
Access to the room was very hard. It is like climbing mount Everest with a baby stroller and luggages. I was luck not to be hurt or injured. Pans in the kitchen were all damaged. Cot was not properly installed. Bed was not too comfortable. There was not a curtain at one window. I did not see anyone, barely talked with hosts. It does not make you feel like a welcomed guest to a new city.
10.0
Netflix on the TV was unexpected. Communication with the host was easy even if we never could meet in person due to my schedule. The furniture of the rooms/kitchen was above expectation.
Only on Friday and Saturday night it was a bit noisy from loud music coming from somewhere in the building.
