Wonderful place! If you like to go on walking tours you can start just where you are; along the river Ahr/ up in the woods/ along Rotweinweg/thorugh a small winyard to Ahrweiler...or skip it all and just relax on the terrass or on the balcony. Easy to get in touch with the nice and helpful host on WhatsApp. There is an apartment on the groundfloor too. The apartments are connected with an inner staircase and on the top of of the stairs there's a door, that goes to our apartment on the first floor. It is locked of course. I suppose it will suite a big family to book the whole house with that door unlocked.

The key to the locked door (to the staircase to the ground floor) in our hall, laid just above the door. I sent an e-mail to the owner and asked her to remove that key and so she did. I also asked her to remove the keys to the kitchen door and the bedroom door, as these keys also fit in the door leading to the ground floor. Probably the keys in the groundfloor also fit. She answered that she trusts her guests, therefore the keys still will be there. She was perfectly right in our case, our passports and my jewelleries worth 4000 € laid beside my bed all the time. -Hopefully, criminals don't spend their holiday here.
