Es war alles wie beschrieben. Die Lage ist nicht sehr günstig. Schwer zu finden. Die Entfernung zur City ist gearde noch so in Ordnung

Beautiful place, nice old design, sparkling clean, well equipped kitchen, great front yard, responsive host, good value for the money.
It is difficult to figure in the description exactly what you will get.
We rent 2 rooms, we knew that we have a shared bathroom, toilet, kitchen and living room but we found out that is shared with another room, the third one.
So at 23h00 in the night, when we were already in our beds, we found out that some strangers are coming and walking all over the place in the common areas, next to our rooms, after all day was there just my family. After they were using the toilets, showers, kitchen, so on, they got into their room, which was next to one of ours and during half an hour we could listening their conversations like they were beside us because the walls seems to be very thin.
So except these, we did enjoyed the staying, the place is really nice.

Clean, fully equipped kitchen. Nice chairs, desks, coach in the common room, this was fine.
My room has windows opposite to the church. Few times during the night I woke up due to the "clock-bell". Church bells woke me up at 6 o'clock. I bought earplugs, and yet it was fine.
Strange kind of guests were in the apartments down there (cigarettes and lighters laying on the staircase). But I didn't interfere with them.
Yearly check-out (until 9:30). Parking is free, but hard to find a free spot.

The guesthouse is situated in a calm, quiet area in Knielingen, Karlsruhe. The tram line S5 is in a few minutes walk - it takes to Karlsruhe's centre in ca. 20 minutes. There are some restaurants in the neighborhood, supermarket and pharmacy is in 10-12 minutes walk (or 4-5 minutes with tram).
The apartment was cozy and clean, the kitchen was equipped with all necessary tools and machines (fridge+freezer, dishwasher, microwave, toaster). Towels and a hair drier was provided in the bathroom. The living room/bedroom (one large room) had 3 single beds and a couch, they were comfortable.
Our host was helpful, even with our special requests, checkin and checkout went smoothly.
Good value for money, I recommend it.
It is not the fault of the guesthouse, but the bells of the church next to the house ring at every 15 minutes, even at night, it was disturbing.
The host communicated mostly in German, even though we indicated that we prefer English. Still, we could manage everything.

location was good
No breakfast provided and the couch/bed had bugs. The air conditioning system was poor. It blew hot air into the room from the back hose and cool air from the front.
6.0
The property is located in a quiet residential neighbourhood.
The apartment (Number 7) was very clean as were the shared facilities - kitchen and bathroom.
Local tram stop (Rheinbergerstrasse) gives easy access to Karlsruhe and in the other direction to Woerth / Pfalz..
The local regional station (Karlsruhe-Knielingen) is a bit further away - a 15 minute walk - it offers access to regional trains, although they are relatively infrequent.
The church bells across the road are a major imposition and inconvenience. They ring every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day. Also, they ring for a long time at around 6.30am - for perhaps 10 minutes continually. Very noisy and I'm surprised that this is allowed in Germany as it makes a complete mockery of the "Ruhezeit" (quiet time) that Germans so love.
Although is in a residential area, there is no facilities close by - shop, pharmacy, bakery etc. So a tram ride is requried to the nearest supermarket (Penny) at Hergwegstrasse.
The facilities available are not clear. There are only 2 washing machines, but these are in other apartments. So some apartments will not have access to these. Were were staying a few days and travelling lightly, so this was a real inconvenience. No laundrettes near by.
The pillows in the room are not pillows - like mini quilts. Not very comfortable. Proper pillows would be nice!
We never really got to meet the building owners / managers - just randomly met the Hausmeister to arrange payment - more accidentally.

Nice location, great atmosphere.
For me personally, the beds were way too soft, but that's just personal preference of me.
7.0
Great and friendly host who was always available and also helped out immediately and in a most pleasant manner when I had queries/special requests/problems... :)
A lovely spacious apartment with windows on all sides, so great with light and sunshine :)
It was also lovely being so high up and being able to look over the roof-tops and onto the surrounding old buildings...
There was lots of space to work, eat, relax, sleep...
There is an Evangelical church next to the apartment building and the bells ring 24/7 EVERY 15 MINUTES and also full chimes on the hour AND really long-playing chimes (or should I say, 'noise'!!!) sporadically... AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE! Seriously, a wonderful apartment but for me a reason not to stay again.
I find it an absolute imposition that the church does this, not even keeping to quiet times from 10pm to 7am. I stayed there 3 nights and left feeling dreadfully tired as it's impossible to get a good night's sleep there, even with earplugs and all the windows closed. I realise that the apartment owners themselves aren't to blame, but the community really does have to have serious words with its church IMHO!!!!
The other disadvantage was the extremely narrow and very steep staircase leading to the attic... almost impossible to get up with a proper, big suitcase and luggage.
