Our spacious apartment is surrounded by greenery. It’s situated in an upscale area of Cologne surrounded by family homes and villas. The biggest park of Cologne (Stadtwald) with its' own petting zoo is just 10 min from us. Also, you have different grocery stores and the biggest mall of Cologne just around the corner. There’s free on-street parking in front of our building with lots of space. The apartment is on the 1st floor, however, there’s also a lift in the building. Thus if you’re traveling with small children and buggy it’s not an issue. The apartment was just refurbished in 2022.
Cologne is one of the biggest cities in Germany with lots of things to do, but also a good location for day trips to the Netherlands or to different hiking destinations.
We like to keep our apartment clean and organized. Usually we have a cleaning lady coming on weekly basis which we can agree for your stay as well. We expect our guests to treat our apartment with respect which we will be doing likewise with yours.
