We loved staying in this beautiful apartment in Bern. From the moment you reach the front door and open the apartment it blows you away with how lovely it is. Very well located, in a great city. We used it as a base to explore many locations in Switzerland and it was so convenient. The hosts were also really helpful at all times. Thank you for a great stay!

Absolutely the best location if you want to be surrounded by activity and in a gorgeous, historical setting!!! But quiet for as much activity is going on outside. The apartment is comfortable, very clean and kitchen adequately stocked. Rob and Sara were very gracious and helpful hosts and very quick to respond. Would stay here again without hesitation!!!

The apartment was clean, well furnished, and ideally located just a few minutes walk from the train station, cathedral, and old town shops, restaurants, and attractions. There is an excellent bakery right next door. A couple of notes. The hot water heater is small so my spouses hot to warm 5-minute shower was followed by my warm to cool 5 minute shower. There was also a quirk which we couldn't explain. The building contains a laundry room located inside the front building door which requires a key. The washer and dryer can only be turned using an App on your phone. We couldn't get the App to work so were unable to do a laundry.

Great location, old world charm

Place was quite unique, historic and close to a lot of great restaurants, attractions and trains . Laundry on main floor, pay via we wash app. (Took all morning to wash and dry:) Spiral Stairs going up are tight. Bed is comfortable. Good wifi and well stocked kitchen. More coffee would have been great as we didn’t know where to get more pods from , but you can grab espresso right across the street where there’s a lovely courtyard garden. Cathedral is a few min away. Go up the tower for a great view of city! Bern is a quaint and beautiful city, we had a great stay at this vrbo.

We loved our ten-days-stay in this beautiful apartment that quickly felt like home for us! The location is unbeatable, close to the central station, in the middle of old town, Bärengraben, Zytglogge, theatre, … all within walking distance. And living in the old rooms feels like time travelling. Sara and Rob have been super friendly and the perfect hosts!

Beautiful Bern

We enjoyed our time in Bern-- and the location the apartment made our time even more enjoyable. The set up is a little different-- with the bedroom/living room on one side of the hall and bathroom/kitchen on the other side. The apartment was very comfortable, and being located in the Old Town-- provided easy access to the sites. Todd

We loved the accessibility to the historical center of the city, The accommodations were very clean and well-equipped. Our host was very helpful with providing information about taking local trains. We would have happily avoided calling her if this travel information had been available in a binder in the apartment. Overall, it was a unique kind of space that we would return to.
