Terrific location! A quick walk to the outdoor market and great bars and restaurants within steps of our place. Basel is lovely and we were glad to have our own place while exploring this beautiful city. Very easy to get around.

Thank you very much for your kind review Elizabeth.
We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you soon again!
The apartment is accurately represented in terms of size and furniture. The kitchen was reasonably equipped. Check in was really easy. The property is clean and secure, and in a terrific old-town location. Old town is a no-car zone, and though parking is nearby, it is outrageously expensive. It would be worth researching the parking options ahead of time. I would stay in the apartment again — and there are larger ones in the building, but I would do my homework on parking. Help fro the hosts on this front would be very welcome!

Thank you very much for taking your time to write us a feedback, we highly appreciate that.
We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay in our apartment.
Unfortunately, you are right, parking in Switzerland is very expensive and we therefore write in our confirmation email to all the guests, that we don't recommend to come by car.
But we are very happy that apart from that, you liked our apartment and service.
We would be pleased to welcome you again.
