Rheinapartment Königswinter
We really liked the stay at Jacqueline’s ground floor apartment. Our only remark was that there is a train that passes by behind the building. Other than that, great location close to the Rhine!

Lenne-Apartment Central - Gateway to Sauerland
A really nice and well-kept apartment, it corresponded exactly to our expectations. We will be happy to come back.

Apartment am See
Great apartment on the ground floor with a small but sufficient terrace overlooking a beautiful garden, as well as a small lake, wonderfully quiet location. Marianne was a super nice and great hostess. Communication worked excellently and quickly. The house dog (Tommy?) also greeted me in a friendly manner, and from time to time came to the terrace to play and for a few petting sessions. The town of Bad Münstereifel, about 5 km away, invites you to stroll with its many beautiful half-timbered houses and outlet stores in the historic city center, and is also worth a recommendation. Thank you so much for an unforgettable time in the Eiffel! I'll be more than happy to come back!

Apartment with Rhine view, roof terrace, Rhine lounge
Beautiful apartment right on the Rhine. Also Ferdinand and his family were very gracious hosts. Hopefully will be back!

Apartment am Rhein
If you are looking for a quiet and comfortable apartment, this is the place to be. The apartment is modern, high quality and tastefully furnished and absolutely clean. Since it is located in a private street, there is no traffic and you can enjoy the tranquility. In the living area you sit very comfortably, in addition there is a dining table and in the bedroom on the 1st floor, there is a small workplace. Ideal for relaxing and working. By car or public transport you can quickly get to Cologne and Bonn. Christa is a very nice, helpful hostess and always easy to reach if you have any questions. A very nice stay!

Homefy Studio Oldtown | Top Location| Rhine View
The apartment was easy to find. Parking was, as described, minutes away. Check-in was hassle-free. I had a few concerns at first as it is an attic apartment and it was pretty hot on the weekend, but the fan provided in the apartment immediately dispelled all concerns! The apartment was very clean and as described. I would recommend the apartment to anyone!

Charging Station Woffelsbach
had a super nice stay. The apartment was clean and spacious, with a nice outdoor area. Instructions were clear. Thanks!

Countryside near Cologne - idyllic!
We had such a lovely time at Peter and Anne’s place! The apartment was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully prepared—perfect for both relaxing and working remotely. We were three people, and each of us had a comfortable bed to sleep in. We worked from the apartment during the day and spent our free time exploring the beautiful area on foot. We recommend car travel, but the bus station is just across the street. Everything was within walking distance, and the neighborhood had such a peaceful and charming vibe—and ducks! Anne was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. On our first day — which happened to be the start of the Cologne Carnival — Peter and Anne even picked us up from the train station. We weren’t prepared for the crowds and are genuinely thankful for their help. We highly recommend staying here if you plan to travel around this area. Thank you again for being such kind and welcoming hosts — we enjoyed our stay

View over the Rursee to the Eifel National Park.
Beautiful house in a beautiful area for hiking. From the house you can start directly on beautiful hiking trips. The house is equipped with everything, from the Sonos box to a Nintendo. The absence of the duvet cover and towels is therefore striking. But all in all recommended!

Jidajo See-Oase, Nationalpark Eiffel, Rursee
Very satisfied with the property. Everything was clean and correct. Some comments are the lack of the fire bowl that was in the photos. This was an important point for us. And the TV didn't work well, but it may have been a one-time malfunction. Otherwise very satisfied. Quick responses and flexibility. Beautiful clean house with stunning views

Luxury loft + hot tub + designer kitchen & bathroom ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had a great stay, we liked the entire furnishings very much, a lot of attention to detail, really cozy furnishings all around, so that you feel right at home. The loft was easy to find and communication with Pasquale was impeccable, questions were answered super quickly. We will certainly come here again.

The blue house just for you!
We spent a week in the lovingly furnished house. You feel like you're immersed in another world. Surrounded by nature, a hiking trail was very close. Restaurants in the vicinity also allow you to give the stove a break 😉 If the weather does not cooperate, you can bridge the time superbly with the games available in the accommodation. We will be happy to come back.

‼ ️2 bedrooms - including parking‼️
We were here with our two teenagers for a short trip. Accommodation was optimal, surroundings very quiet, view of the countryside. The Rhine was very close, great view of the Cologne skyline. Downtown is easily accessible by bike or public transport. Our hostess was very nice and quick to reach. We'd love to come back!

Cozy half-timbered house at the edge of the forest
Great location, surrounded by nature, nice house, cozy but everything present, fenced terrace, ideal for our dog and view of a beautiful garden, so much to see in the area and endless walks to take, really recommended

Cozy & modern on the Rhine
Marco is very nice. Everything went well and smoothly. Glad to come back!

Vacation home - for the little mayor
We were there with three generations and it was great for everyone. Beautifully quiet location, but still everything within walking distance. We felt very comfortable, happy to come back!

Duplex apartment Aggerglück
Everything was great!

Apartment on the Niederfeldsee
The apartment was clean and equipped with all the necessary amenities for the stay. Youssef responded to my messages very quickly. Everything about Youssef, the apartment and its cleanliness was very good; however, we were disturbed by the noise of the neighbors while resting. One of the neighbors heard loud calls to prayer (Adhan) and music, phoned loudly until late at night, and this noise prevented us from sleeping.

Family-friendly apartment between Cologne & Aachen
Alles prima

Skyloft Cologne
Very great place to stay! The host was amazing and always replied pretty quickly. The apartment is very spacious and close to public transport!

Luxury Apartments - THE RED
The apartment is very modern, clean and has an amazing view which makes it very attractive. Henok is very friendly and organised. He planned all I needed for my stay and everything went very smoothly. It was a business trip for me but hopefully next time I will enjoy the city more. Thank you very much Henok!

Central apartment near the fair/arena
Very kind host, spotless apartment, nice location, close to public transport.

Beautiful whole apartment near Rhine/A40/A42
I had an absolutely amazing stay. The apartment is spacious and filled with natural light. There are a few bus stops nearby, making it easy to get around, and Uber had no trouble finding the place. Grocery stores, kiosks, and even an Amazon locker are all close by in case you need to pick up anything. The park and the Rhine are just a short walk away. The host was truly wonderful. very kind, helpful, and checked in to make sure everything was going well. During my two-week stay, there were a few times when I could hear the children from the upstairs unit during the day, but it was occasional and never disruptive enough to affect my experience. I’m already looking forward to staying here again soon!

Vacation apartment at the foot of the Drachenfels
Great location with beautiful surroundings. I stayed for four nights—the place was comfortable and had everything I needed. Benjamin was really friendly and responsive. I really enjoyed my stay!
