Extremely superior! The owner of the house is extremely kind. He takes the initiative to dry and fold clothes for customers. He asks for warmth and other services that need help. He feels like he is at home. It is a sincere and touching service. The layout of the house is large enough, the environment is elegant, and the equipment is fully equipped. It is very comfortable to live in. The transportation is very convenient. It is convenient to go to the railway station and the airport. The life function is very good. There is a big supermarket nearby, which is very cost-effective. It is worth recommending!

The accommodation was easy to find and access, located relatively close to a tram stop and well-connected to the centre. The beds were comfortable, and a coffee machine with coffee pads was available, as well as cooking appliances for simple meals. The parking situation in the area is not ideal, but we still managed to find a spot on the main avenue where parking was free. Overall, a good option for a short stay for a low price - we paid 80€ for one night during the Christmas markets season - but we wouldn't pay more for it.

It’s not an anonymous apartment in an anonymous block of identical apartments. It’s a one-off and has lots of nice touches, like milk in the fridge, some snacks, and a few useful things like salt and pepper. The kitchen has everything you’d need. Bettina, the host, is ever so friendly and helpful, providing me with an umbrella because of the weather forecast. The internet signal was good. Transport links are good with local trams, and Köln-Sud railway station is very close for trains down the west of the Rhine. The main railway station is an easy thirty minute walk away if you’d prefer not to use the trams.

Every staff member I met was very friendly and willing to help. I liked the coffee, that you can drink for free in the "living room". Also, the location is perfect near the city center and the central station. The price was very affordable, a great deal overall for the price.

Had a great time here. Well equipped apartment. Very clean, access was easy, great location, super kind and friendly hosts. As others have mentioned, yes, the shower and loo are outside the apartment but it’s not a big deal as they’re right next to it. Even if there’s a class, you don’t have to go through the yoga studio itself or something. With your door closed, you also won’t hear anything from the studio during sessions. Would definitely stay again!
