    Parking is a bit of a hassle. Apartment is on the 4th floor and there is no elevator (as clearly pointed out in the listing).

    Location. Style of apartment.

    The gate in front of the apartment building could be a bit tricky to open sometimes.

    Host was really helpful and responsive througout our stay. Instructions from the hosts to find the keys were clear and easy to understand. The apartment was a lovely space with more than enough space for 4 people. Location was really good for exploring the city, a short tram ride to the city centre or a nice walk along the river (Maybe 20/25 minutes). Overall a really lovely place to stay. Thank You

    It’s a lot of stairs to reach it. But that’s not a criticism. Just pointing it out. I should be fitter. No built in USB points for phone charging. But an adapter is provided.

    Helpful and very responsive hosts. Made us feel nothing was too much trouble. The apartment is stylish and nicely furnished. Light bright - great to open the windows and have the fresh cool river breeze. Smashing views. Little balconies are perfect for a relaxing coffee moment. Great location. Really couldn’t be better located for a float along the river. The host property manual is obviously written with care. Advice - take the arrival directions given in that, not by Google maps! Didn’t hear a sound from that neighbours in the building. Peaceful. It’s a tiny thing but I love an apartment with ice bags for the freezer! Really nice stay. Basel is great. And the Vitra design campus a great day out.

    Travelled with family. Mom and dad are senior. A little juggling the way in as there are few steps up but manageable. The apartment is very lovely. Fully equipped kitchen. Bathroom drain well. Nice shower. Host is super helpful and attentive. Public parking in the area is a little challenge but walkable distance. Very very nice location next to the river.

    Beware the squeaky floors, but not sure that can be helped! Otherwise, nothing to note.

    A beautifully presented property with a nice view of the river. Plenty of space. It had everything we needed for a short stay. Although we didn't use them, it was good to see a few essential cooking supplies too. Well located for access to the town. The hosts were responsive and helpful.

    The only slight downside was the four flights if stairs up to the apartment.

    The apartment is beautiful. In a great location overlooking the Rhine and a couple of blocks away from the tram into the centre of town or close enough to walk to the centre too. The host is very generous in providing lots of coffee and everything we needed in the apartment.

    We couldn't quite download the parking app of the City of Basel needed to park in the streets around. It was probably due to the jurisdiction of Apple Store. As such, parking was tricky - however, it wasn't a problem as we were out during the day.

    The location was at the waterfront of the Rhein in a residential area and yet within walking distance from the Old CIty centre (Altstadt). The apartment was well furnished with clean lines yet warm taste throughout. The kitchen was well equipped and generously stocked (including Nespresso capsules!) unlike at some other self catering places. The welcome Prosecco was a nice touch, making us feel welcomed. The property is on the 4th floor without an elevator so it may not be suitable for disabled guests. However it meant that the view of the surrounding area and the Rhein was superb. I would love to come back here one day.
