The apartment is situated in the perfect spot between University Square and castle.

- 1 queen bed in the attic (mattress size 160x200)
- 1 king size bed in a separate part of
the living room
- 1 full sofa bed in the living room
- underfloor heating in the whole apartment
- fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher
- newly renovated bathroom with shower
- toilet
- terrace with view over the old part of town
- free WiFi
- 43 inch Cable-TV

....where you might as well leave your car for a while if you brought it along. Because you just turn left outside of the house and take a 5 minutes walk to the university square which is right in the middle of the "Altstadt". Or you turn right - 5 minutes to the castle.

This was a wonderful place to stay. Just a path away from the second funicular to Heidelberg. A few blocks from the old town. And it was so quiet at this old house. Everything we needed was right there! The host was very nice and very helpful with information. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and very nice. I would definitely stay here again if I’m ever in Heidelberg! Thank you so much for opening your home to us!

Great stay

It was very nice. The views were great. The bedroom upstairs is not really suited for an adult as the access is tricky and the ceiling on entering very low, but fine for children.

The steps are worth it.

We enjoyed our stay here; however, it is worth noting that it takes 88 steps to get from the garage to the loft. The setting is relaxing, and it is just a short but steep walk to the city center. Our host, Volker, communicated well before and during our stay.

Great location with everything you could want

The location is great, just a quick walk down the hill to the old town part of Heidelberg. Volker was very pleasant and helpful. The pool table is a nice touch for entertainment in the evening after a day of exploring the great village off Heidelberg. Volker stocks that apartment with everything you will need to get you started on your stay. He was very easy to communicate with and we had no issues finding the place on our way into town.

Great apartment a short walk from Uniplatz

This apartment was ideal for my 5 day stay in Heidelberg. It is a short walk (7 mins downhill, 10 mins uphill) from the Universitätsplatz. It was quiet, well furnished, and convenient. Loved the pool table. There was a dishwasher but no clothes washer (but the laundromat on Uniplatz worked just fine. Volker provided a warm welcome. I would stay here again.

Feels secluded, but town is just a short walk away

We liked that this place is in a natural setting right near the castle. It's an uphill walk from the main street, but that was ok with us. The pool table is a fun amenity we've certainly never had before. The angled ceiling in the loft is quite low, so that space felt smaller than we expected. But the ultra-modern shower room is impressive and spacious. Volker is a wonderful host, and we appreciated the drinks in the fridge!

3 nights in Altstadt

We had a great time in Heidelberg. A quick taxi ride from Hauptbahnhof and we were relaxing inside. The pool table was a big hit. Nights were quiet and restful. Thank you for the beers waiting- I left a few tannenapfel to replace them. A laundry machine would have been great. In town 2-3 day turnaround for laundry service. (We never found coin operated machines).

Volker was responsive and made check-in easy. Our older kids slept upstairs in the loft and on the sofa bed and were comfortable. The main bedroom’s bed was on the firm side, but perfectly fine. It’s nice having a separate toilet when traveling with our older kids while we’re all getting ready in the morning. We had enough hot water for all of us. It was an easy walk to the old town, but be prepared for stairs! We liked having the pool table and would stay here again!

Besonderes Loft in guter Lage

Das Besondere an dem Loft war der Billardtisch, den wir täglich genutzt haben. Der Vermieter war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Er hat die Wohnung mit wirklich allem ausgestattet, was man braucht, das war herausragend. Der Kühlschrank war mit gekühlten Getränken gefüllt, vielen Dank. Das Loft hat eine gute Lage zur Altstadt (man benötigt ein wenig Fitness für die vielen Treppen) und die Garage ist Gold wert. Die Wohnung ist leider recht abgewohnt und könnte (besonders in der Küche) eine Grundreinigung brauchen. Das Bad war neuer, schön und sauber. Die Wohnung hat ihren Charme und wir haben trotz Abstrichen dort einen schönen Aufenthalt genossen.
