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!!
