Wonderful stay in Old Town Bern
This was our third stay in this wonderful, centrally-located apartment building over a 10-year period. Everything you could possible need in Bern is just steps away. The apartment is well-equipped and very comfortable, with all modern conveniences, despite the centuries-old historic setting. Rob and Sara are great hosts, ready to help with any questions and to ensure an enjoyable stay in Bern. Thanks for another enjoyable stay. Hope to be back soon.

Perfection!
I can't say enough positive things about this property. The location is perfect - walking distance to all the sights in old town, shopping, restaurants, and transportation. Despite this, the apartment was very quiet and cozy every night. The apartment is clean, airy, and very comfortable. There is also a lovely bakery next door that we visited almost every morning. Check in/out was a breeze and Rob was always helpful with assistance and suggestions. You can't go wrong with this property and my family hopes to return again!

A great place in a great location
This apartment was a great place in a great location. I can't say enough about staying in Bern old town, a block away from the Zytlogge clock tower and a few blocks from the main cathedral. Super walkable. The apartment's bedroom was dark and quiet through the night (if you close the windows, because cathedral bells, of course!). As I saw from the listing, the bathroom and kitchen are separated from the main unit by the stairwell, and while this was initially awkward, it also added a lot of ambience to the old European experience and ended up working out great in our routines. Owner was A+ communicative throughout the stay and all of the owner-provided info was well thought out. Would stay here again.

Was für eine tolle Erfahrung!
Wir haben eine wunderschöne, mit viel Liebe zum Detail und stylish eingerichtete, geräumige Wohnung im Herzen der Altstadt von Bern angetroffen, in der es uns an nichts gefehlt hat. Ein Bijou! Es war richtig toll und wir kommen jederzeit gerne wieder ;-)) Yvonne & Roni aus Zürich, Switzerland

A unique experience!
My wife and I really enjoyed staying in Rob and Sara’s place. The apartment is right around 300 years old and is full of unique historical items, such as the restored original floor, the original tile stove, the beautifully hand painted closet and various other cool features. At the same time the apartment has a modern kitchen and bathroom.
Great place!!!
