After a few years, this was our second one week stay with family Seck. And just as good as the first time. Frank is an attentive and gracious host, who only becomes visible when you need him. The flat is spacious and well equipped, especially the kitchen. We only did breakfast there, but one could easily cook full meals. With kids, the washing machine in the basement was a bonus. And so was the access to our “private” garden with outside sitting areas (with and without roof). Having a parking space in the gated driveway is very nice as street parking appears to be in scarce supply. We like Laubenheim as a base for trips not only to Mainz (10 minutes to the city center) but also to Frankfurt, Heidelberg (1 hour) etc. Not so hot as Mainz in the summer and quiet at night.

While I do speak a little German, Frank spoke perfect English. He was extraordinarily accommodating in assisting with any needs and very prompt with communications. He had great ideas when we didn’t. The property itself was extra clean and there wasn’t anything it was lacking. The little backyard was an absolute treat to enjoy on a sunny day, sipping on a local glass of wine and writing out postcards. The location was also prime; nice to be adjacent from the center of the Mainz (less than 10 min drive), and yet it felt so quaint as if you were away from it all. Beautifully quiet at night. Felt very safe. Stayed for a week. Would highly recommend!

In summer, Laubenheim is an excellent retreat from hot and busy Mainz. The rental property is spacious and quite and the landlord/lady are most helpful. The parking spot in the gated courtyard is a bonus. Excellent value for money.

We are grateful for our week-long stay in Mainz-Laubenheim! My wife, two teenage children, and I enjoyed the clean, cozy, apartment as well as the quiet and privacy. It was the perfect place to return to after a day spent seeing regional sights. The apartment was as advertised in all respects from the WiFi and laundry, to the pool and off street parking. Frank was a very warm and gracious host. He was willing to help us in any way and had prepared information on local restaurants, grocery stores, train schedules, and more. In short, it was a wonderful stay. Thank you again, Frank!
