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. ##### Kerry O.

We even loved the sounds of the bells ringing in the towers nearby. There are restaurants, bakeries and lovely shopping within steps. The apartment was very clean and neat. Rob and Sara are great hosts and responded quickly to requests and questions. They take great pride in their property. We did not fully understand the layout of the apartment when we booked (now there is a floor plan added). The access to the nice bathroom and lovely kitchen is by exiting the bedroom/living room, walking across a hallway (that has access to upper apartment and lower hallway) into a separate door. These rooms are only occupied by the guests who rent the apartment so in that since they are private. Once we got used to that layout, we were fine, it was just a surprise. However, this apartment in the charming 500 year old building has been lovingly updated, is spacious and very comfortable. We will definitely request to stay again when we are back in Bern. Thank you Rob and Sara. ![View out apartment front window](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cb2cdc3a-5be2-4d84-b46b-bb93c4870b38-1752969761172.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View out apartment front window](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/96164e5b-d97e-482b-aa5a-6da4b14560e6-1752969761471.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Hallway to Bathroom and kitchen. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d10249ca-f955-41ab-bb54-39d98f84cf95-1752969760780.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from Bathroom - kitchen to Bedroom-living room via common hallway. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/242aa25b-48c4-4620-b38e-83b9a2351e64-1752969761132.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bunny D. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 Archival ### 6/10 Okay #### David J. 9 Oct 2016 #### Great place but very noisy If it weren't for the noise, we'd give this flat another star. It's lovely, in a very convenient location and generally has everything you may need in a holiday home. So, if noise isn't an issue for you, and you'd like to be in a bright, comfortable flat, then this would be a good choice. For us, the noise meant very little sleep. There's the street noise until well after midnight from passers-by, and then the refuse collection around 6 each morning followed by general deliveries. Then for the weekend there's the street market directly under the flat with dozens of stands being set up. ##### David J.

Die Gerätschaften in Küche und Bad waren sehr brauchbar und die Räumlichkeiten sehr ok für uns als Kleinfamilie mit Teenager. Danke für alles und vielleicht bis bald noch einmal. ##### Axel S.
