We loved this clean and spacious apartment. After already traveling for two weeks, we especially appreciated the washer and dryer. The kitchen was well appointed, too, and the orderliness was impressive - it was easy to fix a quick breakfast to start each day. The location was great for walks or bus rides to everywhere we wanted to go. We’d happily stay again!

He welcomed us with beer and bottled water in the fridge which was much appreciated after traveling. We would definitely stay here again on a future trip to Cologne. Vielen dank!

Amazing Apartment and Location

This was my first time to Cologne and this apartment was absolutely amazing. Located in what I would say was the most beautiful part of Cologne, it is quiet and located close to the Rhein, supermarkets, restaurants, transit. It was very easy to get to where I wanted to go from this location. The host was also incredible and was quick to answer any questions I had and fix any issues. It was absolutely perfect for my 5 week stay and I would definitely stay here again when I return.

Great neighborhood

This is an excellent VRBO. The apartment is on the ground floor. It is well stocked with everything one would need. The kitchen has a fancy coffee maker and plenty of plates and utensils. It even has a dishwasher. The bed is comfy. The apartment is outside the city center, but close to an s-bahn stop. The Cologne transit system is easy to navigate and quickly reach any spot in the city. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great location and the apartment was nice. But they did not respond to my emails about parking and check in was at 4 and no one showed up to let us in until 4:30. We asked if we could check in at 3:30 and they said it was ok. We stood outside for over an hour. Also, the trash cans were not emptied. When I texted they apologized and gave us a bottle of wine.

Week long city break

Stayed in cologne for a week visiting the city and surrounding area. Lovely region of Germany. The apartment is situated to the south a short tram ride (about 10 mins) from old town/Dom or about a 30 min walk along the river which is pleasant. The area around the apartment also has numerous nice bars and restaurants. The apartment is very comfortable and well sized, good kitchen facilities and a huge tv in the living room. Host (Josef) was really helpful, let us check in early and very responsive to messages. There was a brief issue on our first day with WiFi which he resolved quickly. Also called by one day with a bottle of wine for us which was really kind, excellent host. Would certainly stay again if visiting the city.

We had a great stay at Josef’s apartment in Cologne. The location is excellent—a safe neighborhood just a short walk from the tram and plenty of local cafes, restaurants, bakeries, and bars. Grocery store a few minutes walk away. We loved the high ceilings and the thoughtful touch of beers and water upon arrival. While the historic building has plenty of charm and a great TV setup (and nice large size TV), be aware that the floors are quite creaky and the heating takes some time to warm up, but it’s an old building so it’s understandable. We also struggled with the dryer not working well, but Josef was a very responsive and helpful host, especially with parking advice. Overall, a lovely and well-located base for the city and to explore the Christmas markets. Kitchen was fully equipped to cook and the provided extra pillows and blankets were also nice to have. The apartment was larger than the photos and being on the ground floor was great for the dog. Plenty of closet space. WiFi worked well but took a bit to figure out in the beginning. Once logged in, no issues. Fast enough for remote work. Recommend and would stay again if in Cologne.

Fantastic find

Great apartment, the photos don't do it justice. There is a private garage off location for leaving the car. It was a reasonable price agreed with the owner of the apartment.We were given instructions of how to find and access the apartment before we arrived and the owner came and said hello. He lives in the apartment next door.Location was brilliant in a vibrant suburb with all shops, cafes, restaurants, supermarket, pharmacy etc in the neighbourhood.Apartment was more spacious than expected. Only criticism we have is the noise of people walking past late at night and rubbish collection early in the morning was disruptive. The shower and bath had mould on it which didn't look pleasant. In terms of getting about there's tram and Ubahn and bus stops at the end of road. Took about 20mins to get into the city centre. It's walkable too fif about similar length of time .ation
