Perfect apartment. The photos give a true and honest discription of the place. There is lots of natural light, well laid out and the owners keep it very clean. Everything was in good working order. Lots of extras were provided beyond the Wine, Fruit,and Christmas treats, there was bar soap, paper towels, enough TP for the length of our stay etc. Having rented from VRBO 5 times now I have to say this was the best place we have stayed. Owners were very accommodating and friendly. Would stay again.

Strasbourg's Perfect Pied a Terre

This was a perfect home away from home. Beisides being spotlessly clean and spacious, the owner provided several amenities that made us, as longer term (two weeks) tourists feel at home. The kitchen was proivsioned with baiscs such as olive oil, some spices, and a few snacks in addition to the owner's welcome gift of wine and pastry. The bedroom and bath were provisioned with towels and sheets to cover our entire stay, And, finally, the apartment was bright with natural light and all the furniture was comfortable. The owner was extremely prompt in responding to my questions and provided information both via e-mails and in the apartment itself regarding the offerings of Strasbourg. I even liked the four story walk up since the boulangerie next door and the Alasatien diet kept us in need of exercise. We travel almost every summer in Europe with our law school's foreign programs. This year we were in Strasbourg for the first time and enjoyed walking everywhere. Pharmacies, groceries, and doctors were all within a block. Sightseeing crowds and the downtown tourist attractions were a short walk away and it was worth the distance for the quiet nights this place provided. We were also within walking distance of the train station, cinema, and some wonderful restaurants. We have rented apartments in many places over the summers we have traveled in Europe for this program. This is one time where we found that the place actually surpassed its description which is a hugely pleasant and wecome surprise. If we return to Strasbourg, this place would be our first choice.

Strasbourg Apartment #206309

We absolutely loved the apartment. Not only was it airy, clean and spacious, but it was also decorated beautifully for the Christmas season. The location is within walking distance to all shopping, sightseeing and even the train station.The "piece de resistance" were all the Christmas goodies and bottle of Champagne for "Noel". Strasbourg is a beautiful city, and seeing it decorated for the holidays was truly "magical". Visiting Colmar was like being dropped into a Hansel and Gretel fairy-tale. I would recommend this lovely apartment to anyone who is planning a visit to Strasbourg. And yes we had lots of snow for Christmas!

We rented this delightful apartment in order for the two of us to visit Strasbourg's famous Christmas markets. We found the apartment also decorated for the season which added to the festivity of our visit. This was very thoughtful. The apartment is comfortable, very light, airy, and surprisingly spacioius feeling. It is well equipped with all the necessaries for a comfortable stay. The process of arrival and departure was facilitated by our understanding host and much appreciated. The apartment is even warmer and more delightful than the photos show. Definitely a five star apartment.

We just returned from a wonderful 8 days in Strasbourg. This apartment is great. It is very comfortable and well maintained. The owners left a great bottle of wine, fruit and sweet cakes for our arrival. That was a nice touch. The apartment is in a great location. Most everything is in easy walking distance. The restaurants are excellent. Plan some side trips to places like Colmar and Obernai. The owner of the place was excellent to deal with and offered some local advice on must see spots. It is highly recommended.

Strasbourg apartment

We really enjoyed our week in Strasbourg and loved this apartment. The owners were very helpful, and we appreciated the bottle of wine and bread on arrival. The apartment is very well appointed. The windows made it light and airy. There are plenty of stores in the neighborhood. The historic center is a short walk away. We walked over a different bridge every time we went into the center. Even though Strasbourg has lots of tourism, the city never felt overrun with tourists. We would recommend the sightseeing boat. We took it late in the afternoon and took the uncovered one. It was great. The Chinese restaurant next door was exceptional - highly recommended. We would go back again and recommend this apartment and this city to friends.

It's perfect!

I loved this apartment! It is charming, cozy, quiet, immaculately clean, well equipped, and in an ideal location - very close to the old city, a huge shopping center, movies, restaurants, and several wonderful bakeries. The apartment was more than I had hoped for, more beautiful and more amenities than the pictures and listing suggested, and a perfect place to stay in Strasbourg! I will recommend this to my friends and relatives as long as they have no problem climbing stairs since it is on the 4th floor. The owners were very helpful in answering my questions before my departure, met me at the apartment once I arrived, and made every effort to make sure I had everything I needed. I'm looking forward to staying in the apartment again on my next visit to Strasbourg.

We were fortunate to spend two weeks at Christmas in this lovely apartment. It was bright, well furnished, and nicely decorated for the holidays. The owners and caretakers have made this a very clean and welcoming home away from home. Finding some surprise food and drinks waiting for us was a lovely treat, which was very welcome after a very long day of travel. There was even a box of toys and activities that made our daughter feel right at home. The location is great. We had been to Strasbourg several times before this trip, but somehow when I looked at the map I still thought the apartment would be further from everything I wanted to see than it was. Truly, everything was a very easy walk, and yet we were on a quiet, residential street. Although there is plenty of wonderful food in Strasbourg, it was also nice to have a full kitchen in the apartment to cook when we wanted a night at home. I think you won't be disappointed.

If you read the previous comments, we could not agree more. Our hosts were wonderful, gracious people. The accommodations are first class, top of the line. The location is perfect, you must try the Chinese restaurant two doors from the apartment. We arrived very late and it was not a problem. Loved it!!
