    Our stay in the heart of Bern's old city was absolutely perfect. The attention to detail was greatly appreciated. The apartment was extremely clean and charming, and could not be in a more ideal location. We had a car rental and found parking just minutes away.Rob and Sara went above and beyond to ensure our every need was cared for.

    This was my first time to the city of Bern and this property could not have been more perfect. The location is right in old town and we were able to easily walk to the attractions within Old Town. It’s convenient to Tram Stops and having the Bern Ticket provided by Rob and Sara made it very easy to venture outside of Old Town.The apartment is very spacious. The kitchen has everything you need. We used it everyday for our morning coffee and one of our meals. The layout is different than other properties I’ve stayed at in the past, but recognizing that this apartment is in a building that has historical significance only makes it more charming. We truly appreciated how well-kept and maintained this historical property was.The instructions and communications provided by Rob and Sara are very clear and they are very quick to respond to any questions or concerns you have.I would definitely stay here again if I find I have the grand opportunity to return to Bern someday.

    We stayed for 7 nights and loved the location. We even loved the sounds of the bells ringing in the towers nearby. There are restaurants, bakeries and lovely shopping within steps. The apartment was very clean and neat. Rob and Sara are great hosts and responded quickly to requests and questions. They take great pride in their property. We did not fully understand the layout of the apartment when we booked (now there is a floor plan added). The access to the nice bathroom and lovely kitchen is by exiting the bedroom/living room, walking across a hallway (that has access to upper apartment and lower hallway) into a separate door. These rooms are only occupied by the guests who rent the apartment so in that since they are private. Once we got used to that layout, we were fine, it was just a surprise. However, this apartment in the charming 500 year old building has been lovingly updated, is spacious and very comfortable. We will definitely request to stay again when we are back in Bern. Thank you Rob and Sara.

    This apartment was an amazing spot for us! We were able to catch the bus and get to the train station quickly. We were also able to get walk pretty much anywhere we needed to go. The space was perfect for the three of us and had everything we needed. The owners were on top of it and answered any questions we had quickly and efficiently.We would definitely stay here again!

    Excellent location! Clean and spacious apartment. Host was quick to respond and gave good restaurant recommendations and helpful tips for floating down the river (an amazing experience for those in our family that did it!). All check in/check out details and other instructions are well explained via VRBO email, a video and a binder in the apartment. Apartment has labels throughout with helpful instructions (how to use the dishwasher, a reminder to close the windows, etc.). Well stocked kitchen in terms of utensils and pantry basics. It was nice to have laundry on site—there is no laundromat in Bern. Cost was 6CHF to wash and another 6 CHF to dry. Would definitely stay here again!

    Wonderful stay in this lovely flat. Rooms were unique and beautiful! Living space was separate from kitchen & bath via hallway which made it fun & giving us the entire 1st floor! Windows looked out on to streets of Old Town Bern filled with cafe's, shops, interesting monuments, people and close to the Arie river & Bear Park! Such a wonderful experience we had our 1st time ever as a family in this area & wonderful communication with the hosts! If we are lucky enough to travel there again we would absolutely stay there in Bern!

    The flat in Bern exceeded our expectations in every way! The place was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and perfectly located in the heart of the city. We were within walking distance to all the main attractions, yet enjoyed a peaceful and quiet stay. Our host was exceptional, warm, attentive, and welcoming. He provided us with valuable insights and recommendations for exploring Bern, making our stay even more enjoyable. His attention to detail and thoughtful touches made us feel right at home. We highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Bern. It's a true gem and a perfect base for exploring this stunning city. We fell in love with Bern. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
