Classy Stay: Design Apartment | Balcony | Near RÜ
The apartment was in a quiet and peaceful location with excellent access to shops and restaurants. Christina was responsible and responsive. Everything was perfect, and I will definitely stay there again.

PrimeTimeSuites | Near the trade fair & main train station
The apartment is really great in all the aspects. Location is amazing, just 3 minutes walk from the Central Station, 5-6 minutes walk from downtown, all the cafes and restaurants. In front of the building is situated the Opera and Theatre with the spectacular park. The apartment is very comfortable, furnished with all necessary equipment and amenities, balcony has nice view as well as the in yard space. Special thanks to host, Mert, who was friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay at this apartment when next time will be in Essen.

Lovely, spacious place in the artistic neighborho
We had a great time staying at Nazanins apartment. The communication was good and everything was clear. The apartment is in a nice neighbourhood whith cozy bars and a good pizzaria. The balcony is a good place to start your day whith a cup of coffee in the sun and view on the backyard. We will defenitily book again when back in Essen.

Central and Relaxing with Rooftop Terrace in Essen
I had a wonderful stay at Julia’s flat in Essen. The apartment is beautiful and spacious, with a big kitchen and living room, a great balcony to relax on, and a smart TV for entertainment. The washing machine worked perfectly, which was a big plus. Everything was clean, comfortable, and just as described. Highly recommended!

Apartment in Bredeney
Perfect. It was clean, modern, beautiful furniture, had all of the stuff you needed and nothing more, precise description of check-in and perfect position for where I wanted to be. It was the first time ever I arrived at an accommodation and filled the furniture with my luggage. Really, really perfect. Thank you!

Vacation home friend
Great apartment and super easy and fast communication with the landlords. The apartment has everything you need and is super well-maintained & clean! In particular, the details of the apartment make you feel at home and there is nothing lacking. Highly recommended! The apartment is also great in terms of location, supermarkets and co. all within walking distance. The house is a very quiet apartment building in a side street.

Top location - Top amenities
Michael's apartment felt like coming home, loving and personal. Our check-in time was considered and flexible. Michael was available at any time for questions. Great bathroom with large shower and a fully equipped kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay.

Charming, bright old building apartment in the south quarter
Dear Jaqueline, Thank you again for the lovely stay. I visited for the 2nd time and it was a very pleasant stay again. Everything was clean, cozy and well-equipped as usual. I would like to highlight the communication in particular. No matter if it was about check-in or other questions, you were always available. Thank you 🥰

Studio apartment with office
A very cozy and creatively furnished apartment with everything you need. Relaxing, quiet, you feel right at home. Parking is not a problem, and you can quickly get everywhere and have everything you need in terms of shopping. We were there with our daughter, there was a high chair, extra blackout windows, and toys including a great dollhouse. The hostess leaves nothing to be desired and answers all questions, it is a great place to relax and retreat. Thank you, we look forward to seeing you next time!

Cozy apartment
A very clean place for excellent value for money. Very clean apartment and public transport very close including the BaumminhaussStraße metro and Essen Altenssen train station. The place was as described and Cathy was very responsive as soon as we needed it. Very satisfied and if I come back to Essen I would not hesitate to come back if it is possible. Thanks so much!

Quiet and comfort - best location in the studio apartment
Very hospitable and friendly people. There was everything you needed in the house. We stayed comfortably. The bed is comfortable, the room is nice. Beautiful apartment in a very green environment. Close to the markets and the University. Many thanks to Norbert and his wife Angelika.

Apartment rentals with a hot tub

Suite OF the senses: hot tub,sauna,pole dance &more
The price was fully worth it - the accommodation is very well maintained and looks even more beautiful in real life than in the pictures - really the perfect time out for couples Maria is super sweet and mega accommodating :) Thank you so much for this great experience - we will definitely be back!

near the Veltins Arena
The host was very friendly and accommodating. The listing was exactly what we imagined and there was free food and drink. Simply wonderful!

Lovely, non-smoking apartment with hot tub
Heike and Mike are great hosts. We were received in a very friendly manner and they were there to help us. The accommodation exceeded our expectations.

5* Pure relaxation! Private cinema room + hot tub
A very large and super equipped apartment in a good location with two very special highlights: A hot tub - and a private cinema with four comfortable armchairs, Netflix access, large screen and great sound. The location is also great: In a few minutes walk, you can be at the nearest subway station as well as a shopping center, yet very quiet. I was there by bike, and the apartment was the perfect base for trips to the Zollverein mine, the Nordsternpark in Gelsenkirchen and other interesting places. Communication with Lucas was great, fast response times and help with questions/problems at any time. If I'm drawn to the area again, I'd love to stay here as a guest again!

Bochum - Quiet and yet so close
Christoph's service was really wonderful. He was attentive to us at all times and for anything we needed. The apartment is beautiful, everything is very carefully designed and very well thought out for anyone. The house is really cozy, the lighting is very relaxed with those views of the terrace. My mother and I have certainly rested and relaxed as much as we needed. The jacuzzi is amazing. We had a very nice experience. We will definitely repeat

Lux 3 apartment
Well stocked apartment, close to the tram station and a supermarket. Would stay there again

90 m² | Do-City | for 6 | Kitchen | Jacuzzi | Wi-Fi
The apartment is very spacious with high ceilings and large windows. I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness, freshness of the bed linen and the comfortable bed. The blinds in the bedroom were very useful, thanks to them I was able to sleep. Good pressure in the shower also pleased. The kitchen was disappointing. There was no dishwasher, although it was listed in the amenities. We were looking for a place with a fully equipped kitchen so that we could cook during our five-day stay. A kitchen without a dishwasher is a thing of the past, half a day was spent washing dishes - this is not an option for those who intend to cook food themselves. The refrigerator was even more disappointing - it was slightly cooler than the air in the kitchen. No freezer was found at all. To cool the drinks, we turned the regulator to the maximum, then loaded the purchases, and by the evening all the products were frozen. We had to throw out all the greens, vegetables and buy again. At the same time, we had to buy a sharp knife and a grater. If you eat exclusively outside the house, the location is excellent, a bunch of cafes. With parking, you'll be lucky.

Lovely apartment with hot tub
We felt very comfortable with Christian and his family. The apartment is equipped with everything you need, we were more than adequately supplied with coffee and if something is missing, Christian is immediately on the spot. The hot tub is a real hit, everything is lovingly decorated and clean. We will definitely be back.
