Rhein View 3-Ländereck Basel-Weil-Huningue

NorbertRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Der Aufenthalt in der Wohnung war sehr angenehm und problemlos. Van hat uns gut gelotst, da die Anfahrt zum Haus etwas verzwickt war. Wir sind mit den Fahrrädern angereist, die wir in den vorhandenen Fahradabstellräumen sicher unterbringen konnten. Das war optimal für die Fahrradtouren entlang des Rheins und nach Basel. Die zentrale Lage ist der absolute Pluspunkt der Wohnung und natürlich auch die Aussicht vom Balkon.

Self Check in verlief absolut reibungslos. Die Wohnung war sauber. Wir haben es sehr geschätzt, dass Kaffee vorhanden war. Auch Duschgel, Shampoo, Handseife, Abwaschmittel, sämtliche Tücher waren bereit. Die Matratze ist schon etwas durchgelegen, aber für ein paar Nächte kein Problem. Danke!

Family Friendly • Parking Available • Lift •15'BSL

JuneRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We booked Anne-Sophies place at the very last minute and found her responses to be super helpful and friendly. This uncluttered yet comfortable 3rd floor apartment, with a lift, is spotlessly clean and very spacious, with comfy beds (although bring eye masks if morning light is an issue) and a decent shower over the bath. It is very convenient for nearby trams to the station or old town, just a few stops away and Anne-Sophie generously organised the Baselcard for our arrival which made travel by tram or bus easy and free. There are supermarkets on the doorstep, as well as restaurants. We didn't try these but really enjoyed the local feel of the two cafes in town as recommended. We enjoyed our stay very much, thank you, Anne-Sophie, for being a wonderful host.

InSwissHome - Barfüsserplatz BAR Street Apartment

AgnesRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Beautiful apartment at a great location. The place is 11 minutes walk or tram ride from the Basel SBB station. I received a Basel card from Violet before check in so I didn’t need to pay for public transport during my stay. Basel is a very walkable city and this apartment is close to everything. Nespresso machine and the complementary capsules are a plus. Bed is very comfortable. I stayed a few nights in February, the apartment was warm but I was glad I had slippers with me as the floor was cold for me. I would stay here again.

Schöne Zweizimmer-Wohnung im Herzen Basels

GordonRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
The apratment is in the middle of Basel. Close enough that you can pop in during the day, if you forget something or want to drop something off. The kitchen has all you need, including a kettle for us Brits. Quiet at night. The apartment is on the 2nd floor, but there is a lift. There is a co-op supermarket 2 mins away, where you can stock up on food and wine. There are a few resteraunt bars nearby but we ate at the food trucks in town. The town is easy to walk around and there are plenty of things to look at. Great place for a weekend.

Modern stunning apartment, central with parking!

SabineRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Meine Mutter und ich hatten eine sehr gute Zeit in dieser schönen Unterkunft. Die zwei getrennten Schlafzimmer mit eigenem Bad, der Stellplatz für das Auto und die Terrasse zum Draußen sitzen haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr entspannt gemacht. Auch von der sehr gut ausgestatteten Küche waren wir sehr angetan. Die Hinweise zum Aufenthalt in der Wohnung sind alle auf Englisch, was für uns kein Problem war aber interessant zu wissen ist. Wir danken für den schönen Aufenthalt und können die Unterkunft voll umfänglich weiter empfehlen.

Old-Town Bijou 65m2 - Heart of Basel & Baselcards

BarbaraRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Meggie met our cab, even talked to the taxi driver to direct him. Great recommendations for our first jet lagged evening. I was so happy I chose this apartment. Even in just three days, we felt at home, and the apartment had everything we could wish for. Very well equipped. Very comfortable bed, good WiFi. Lots of welcome snacks and drinks. We could have easily spent a few more days in Basel-such a beautiful city with more to see than we had time for. Thank you!!

Great apartment close to transit & a few good restaurants. The apartment was nice, clean, & comfortable. The bed was also quite comfortable. There was plenty of space for clothing from 2 large suitcases. Having an elevator & outside blackout blinds on all windows were great!

Charming Loft next to ArtBasel & Rhein - 5 Stars!

JaneRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Lovely loft apartment! Airy, beautiful space with distinctive and artful touches. Comfortable beds, and upscale bedding. We were there in time for the Christmas markets and the entire street was set up with food carts, lights, music and holiday decor—so fun! The tram, bus and train stations were easy to navigate and the area is very walkable. The 3 flights of stairs kept us in shape during our stay and inspired me to try and learn not to overpack next time! I already miss the daily bakery visits and walks by the river. We had a wonderful stay!

Neu renovierte Loftwohnung mit Dachterrasse

StephanieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was our fifth visit to Basel. We have stayed in two other Airbnbs there that we loved and could not have imagined that anything would surpass them, but Fran and Martin’s place absolutely did. Their place is beautifully/thoughtfully updated while maintaining the historic charm. The kitchen was very well appointed, with plenty of dishes and glassware. It was such a luxury to have two bathrooms (and the upper shower is especially nice, with a window that opens onto the Basel skyline), and they even supplied robes, which was such a treat! And the rooftop terrace—just wow: a wonderful space for an evening glass of wine after a day of exploring. Great to have a washer/dryer. The flat was very quiet. The Migros was right across the street and very well stocked. It’s a 3-minute walk to catch the tram to the SBB. Martin was available either in person or by text the entire time and was so helpful and kind. We couldn’t have been happier (unless we had stayed longer!).
