Spacious studio room with bathroom
Beautiful setting. Kind host. lovely walks along the river.

Above the roofs of Bern
2nd time with this host. Absolutely wonderful attic apartment with a small balcony. Perfectly clean and stocked with necessities and even a few extras. Beautifully furnished and maintained. The amount of unbuilt land and spectacular gardens in the back are very unusual for any European city. Quiet countryside living with the benefit of being within walking distance of shops and restaurants and lovely trails to parks and river Aare. Frequent buses stop right in front of the house. The ride to the heart of the old city and the train station takes only minutes.

Special apartment in an exclusive location
Ursula was super accommodating and helpful with a later check in! The Airbnb is in a great location, close to Old Town and walking distance to the train. We loved using the amazing coffee machine and kitchen area, too!

Oasis in the heart of Bern
The location was wonderful for our family of 3. We stayed 5 nights and 6 days. Walking distance from the train or bus just across the way. The kitchen was fully equipped we made breakfast every morning. The family was very friendly, responds quickly and was helpful. We would stay here again!

Private Luxury Suite
The place is spacious, clean and private. Location wise it’s 1 hr to the jungfrau region. Kaspar lives next door but he will not disturb you while you are there. This place is good value for money and I will not hesitate to come back. Highly recommended.

City apartment, perfect location, spacious, modern
Beautiful place near the center of everything to do in Bern. Would absolutely recommend.

Urban Work’n’chill Bern
Thank you Matthias for hosting us. We were very comfortable in your apartment. We had everything we needed and we were close to public transportation that took us to the train station in no time, and to the Old part of town. We loved visiting the Rosengarten, and our side trips to Interlaken, Thun and Neuchatel. We have loved visiting your country, the Swiss people have treated us with kindness and we have felt very welcomed. Thank you for making our vacation a memorable one!

Spacious and stylish apartment near City Centre
We only stayed one night, would have loved to stay longer. Excellent location! Nils told us how to get a parking ticket for the car and then we were off on a short walk to the old city of Bern. The neighborhood of the apartment is outside the tourist hustle and bustle, which was much appreciated after a full day and all you want is quiet! Thank You!!
