    A great stay in Basel, central and comfortable

    Though it said the apartment had parking, they are relying on street parking, which will cost 20 Fr a day. You will need to be fit, as you will have to carry your bags up to the 3rd floor up a narrow staircase.

    The apartment is spacious and comfortable. The beds are amazingly comfortable and the apartment block and area for a large city are amazingly quiet. 5 min walking distance from a main train hub that can take you anywhere in the city and 7 min walk away from the Rhine River. Nearest Super market is also about 5 min walking away. All in all we had an amazing time in Basel and the apartment was perfect for our needs.

    Having to climb 50 steps every time to reach your apartment and no lift is a downfall but officially nothing to do with the landlord. The bathroom shower could do with a slip mat as it can get very slippy when showering. Pillows and beds could be slightly better quality but overall and lovely apartment which I would return again.

    Property is very central. Lovely and modern everything you need in one place. Complementary Netflix is a nice touch on the tv Cooking facilities are greats and extra left by the landlord such as sugar and teas. Which is a nice touch. Plus the shop is only a 5 min walk away for any other essential you may need.

    The access is via a narrow staircase up 3 stories which might be cumbersome to some visitors.

    I had a delightful stay at this apartment— clear and exceptionally comfortable. The ease of access via public transportation made exploring the city a breeze. The hosts were welcoming, adding a warm touch to the overall experience. Highly recommended for a convenient and pleasant stay!

    In some way there were an overload of instructions and it took me time to digest it... A bit more friendly tone of voice would be really cool:)

    I liked that instructions were clear and it was easy to communicate with hosts. Appartment is very big and stylish. There were everything you need inside and even special welcome gift!

    The dishwasher was smelling bad. Its a steep walk up the stairs, so it may not be a great choice for elderly or physically impaired people.

    Very clean. Close to the tram and thus close to train station. Great communication from host. Has really paid attention to details that every tourist may need.

    Not really to dislike, but there's no air-conditioning so temperature is rising. Opening the doors helps for sure.

    Great, spatious apartment with all needed facilities for a longer stay. Modern setting with couch, table and Bluetooth speakers. Kitchen is fit for great meals and in the evening you can lounge on the terrace (there are two). Situated walking distance from Basel Bad makes an ideal spot.

    The lock is hidden in bushes in the stairs to the basement where there are no lights. Check-in and finding the keys, finding the apartment etc. could be a lot easier.

    The apartment is very spacious and nice, easy to feel at home, and the hosts left little Swiss sweets, two fruits and coffee pods.

    You reach the THIRD FLOOR apartment by 50+ creaking wooden steps. This was not mentioned ANYWHERE in the listing on Booking.com. There are several lamps in the apartment providing nice atmospheric light, but no option for normal stronger light for work in any room. In addition to that, the desk lamp on the work desk slowly died.

    Excellent location. Beautiful apartment, Comfortable.

    if you have a car this location isn’t for you. on street parking for 20 € a day but all parking spots are taken. we parked our car in the parking garage for 50€ a day. if you have heavy bags this apartment isn’t for you, they have no lift. communication is only one way, they asked you to do and not to do things in their appointment more than once. we called them many times to ask about the lock but they just ignored us. emergency contact number they gave , we called but the guy said he’s not longer working for this appointment anymore.

    the appointment is nice a clean, nice kitchen and we can do our laundry.
