We chose Apartment Pasha as a convenient base for day trips to Mainz, Rüdesheim, Trier, Sankt Goar, and Bacharach during our four-day stay, and it worked very well for that purpose. The location was especially useful when taking the Rhine ferries, which made destinations west of the river much more direct than driving to the nearest bridge. Parking was easy, and good shops and excellent restaurants were only a few minutes away.The host provided generous snacks in the refrigerator, and the kitchen was very nicely appointed. The apartment also has some fun features, especially the top-floor sunroom with three-color ambient lighting, which gives the space a lively, social feel.The main drawback was the heat. Although the owners provided two good fans for the bedrooms, it was hard to get air circulating because many of the “windows” are full-length doors, so they cannot easily be left cracked open. The listing describes the apartment as air conditioned, but the cooling consists of two window units in the sunroom, which did not keep that room cool during the day and did not help the bedrooms at all. As a result, the bedrooms were quite stuffy.The layout is also worth noting: the smaller bedroom and bathroom are accessible only by passing through the larger bedroom, which may be awkward for guests who are not close family. Overall, the apartment was convenient, well equipped, and thoughtfully hosted, but summer heat and layout limitations are important considerations.
