About this property

The apartment is situated in the perfect spot between University Square and Castle.

On the lower level there is a double bedroom, living room with cable-tv, fully equipped kitchen and a toilet. In the attic you will find an open area with a double bed and a very small separate room with 2 single mattresses. On that level there is also a bathroom with a shower and a WC.
The apartment comes with a spacious private terrace with weber grill and a beautiful view over the 'Altstadt'.
Other amenities - all free of charge of course - are W-Lan, a set of linen and towels and parking in our own garage.....
where you might as well leave your car for a while if you brought it along. Because you just turn left outside of the house and take a 5 minutes walk to the university square which is right in the middle of the 'Altstadt'. Or you turn right - 5 minutes to the castle.

Great location, but dirty and has vermin problem

The property has the potential to be very nice (due to its location) but was dirty and we found mouse droppings in the lounge, and evidence of rats in the roof. We raised it with the owner who apologised and said they were aware of the issue. Had this happened in a hotel I would have expected a full and sincere apology as well as a significant refund. On contacting HomeAway we were told they had also contacted the owner to try to resolve this, but the owner did not respond to HomeAway. As they would not communicate with us to resolve we feel forced to write this review to warn other potential customers. Our 3 year old daughter was playing on a floor covered in mouse urine and the owner seemed to think that was acceptable. Sadly, we would advise you avoid this property if that is the owner’s attitude to cleanliness and customer satisfaction.

A great little bolt hole in Heidelberg.

This was the second time I have stayed at Volker's loft apartment. It is superbly situated only minutes walk from the centre of the Altstadt. The first time I stayed, two years ago, everything was fresh and new. The apartment is still in fairly good order but is looking a bit "tired". Shrubs, trees and weeds have grown, so that the view across to the Philosophenweg on the other side of the river is mostly obscured. Volker still provides cooled beer on tap, which is very welcome after climbing the sixty seven steps up from the road! Having the use of the garage is a great bonus, as parking in Heidelberg can be something of a nightmare. Once tucked away, the car can be left, while exploring the delights of the town and needs only to be taken out for excursions away from Heidelberg. It is by no means Volker's fault that, due to Brexit, the pound sterling has fallen in value but it does mean that the apartment is now much more expensive for British visitors. Whereas two years ago it represented very good value for money, now it has become less. Nevertheless my stay was most enjoyable and given a little care and attention, provided that the sixty seven steps are not a problem, I would recommend this as a great little bolt hole in Heidelberg.

Great location and a friendly owner.

The location of the property was superb. However it would not be suitable for the disabled or for anyone who was not reasonably fit. To reach the apartment there are 67 steps from road level. A great bonus is the garage, as parking in Heidelberg is a problem; either hard to find, or expensive. The walk into the centre of the old town is a matter of minutes. To get back requires a short but steep climb. The apartment has been built by a DIY enthusiast and the finish is certainly less than professional; not a problem to me. The upper floor with a bedroom, bathroom and study, is very close to the sloping roof and so a lot of bending, especially for tall people, is required. Volker, the owner and host, is genial and friendly and gave us a very warm welcome. I was impressed by the very good, cold beer which is freely available and on tap on the patio. The patio is perfect for hot, summer days, as it is mostly in shade, being north facing. As well as the beer, there is a barbecue. I would certainly stay there again, if visiting Heidelberg.

Heidelberg haven

We had an excellent stay here. It is very close to the Christmas markets, restaurants, shops and the Heidelberg castle. We used the garage for our car rental; it was tight and the street is quite busy at times. The many flights of stairs (66 if you're counting) would be very difficult for anyone with heavy bags and mobility issues.

Tolles Ambiente und perfekte Lage

Wir waren zu fünft für 3 Nächte für eine Sportveranstaltung in Heidelberg. Von der Kommunikation bis hin zum Begrüßungsgetränk war es die perfekte Unterkunft. Sehr gemütlich, liebevoll eingerichtet, tolle Terrasse und alles sehr sauber und praktisch. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt und der Vermieter war sehr entgegenkommend und gastfreundlich. Ich würde jederzeit wieder buchen.
