A one bedroom apartment with kitchen & bathroom. Not far from the train station & pretty close to the centre.

The outside of the block is unprepossessing as are the public areas. Inside the flat so much better.

Compact. Everything I needed. Brilliant location for the theatre.

At the entrance of the building there is no sign indicating where to go; there is no reception. Actually, one has to go through the back door of the building to the right where there is a trattoria, and ask for the keys there. There could be a sign. I did not receive any mail via booking about this. Something else: there is not light one could use to read at night in bed.

Well equipped apartment. Nice and friendly host.

Contacting and comminicating with manager was difficult, or rather impossible. I contacted manager in writing via booking.com and tried calling few times, to try checking in (one hour) earlier the day before and on the same day but no response was received - even though I was sick/unwell. I turned up to the building and some resident let me in. Apparently the restaurant staff under the building at back end, know manager well and assisted greatly. Otherwise I'd still be stuck on the street! In summary, someone should be responding to enquiries as soon as possible (similar to the way it operates in hotels and other apartments).

The location was great, the room was great. Thank you.

- quality of bathroom - size of elevator

- location - room amenities - easy access

Cosy little studio, heating, wifi, equipment for longer stay, clean linen etc. It should just be better marked or more precise instructions on how to pick up the keys.

Unfortunately my room heavily smelled like cigarettes, even though it was a non smoking room and the host put labels in the room.

Very friendly host, very quick responses for all the matters I had, thanks so much! Also location is awesome.

The building is quite old and run down, and the flat could also benefit from some renovation

Everything was clean, exceptionally quiet, and the flat is well stocked for short stays (lots of dishes,cutlery,even salt,oil,etc). Bed comfortable.Great location!

As above. The entry system really needs sorting: access is needed to the EXTERIOR door before guests can get to the lift and key box. Hint to owner; 1 largish interesting picture eg from the local area can set the scene well. I had 2 problems 1) because I am 5' 3" I was only able to access the very bottom of the fridge. 2) I have to be careful not to fall, normally with a shower this is OK. The deep, shiny sitz bath presented several difficulties because the sides were high and tucked under the basin but more importantly because there was nothing to hold on to when I was covered in water and therefore more likely to slip.

Self catering. The flat was basic, dark, not sufficient facilities for 2 people (china missing). A bit depressing because there was a metal grill plus net curtains with hooks missing. There was peeling paint/ paper in the bathroom. Towels were worn.... I chose the apartment because of its location, near the station, the old town, in a pleasant area with very good access to transport.

There are blinds on two windows, but the 3rd window (kitchen) has no blinds, so there is light all the night. The windows are old and wooden, so the noise from the street comes in, whether you close them or not. The bed creaks a lot, every time you move - you might wake-up yourself or your partner. Saturday evening (probably Friday as well) is the time when people go out in the evening and they are screaming, driving very noisy cars under the window, honking... they stopped roughly around 2 o'clock in the morning. We paid 256 CHF for two nights, it's not so expensive for Basel, but we couldn't sleep much on Saturday to Sunday night. The paint on the walls in the bathroom is falling (peeling) off.

15 minutes walk from the train station, clean, good wi-fi, with coffee-machine and capsules. The Owner of the appartment also owns the pizzeria Artigiano on the ground floor and grants you 20% discount. We have used it. The pizzas and beers were great.

• You can’t enter the building to collect the keys from the lock box unless someone else happens to enter the building and you can tailgate. • Owner never answered my phone calls when I was unable to get inside the property to collect keys • Street is quite dodgy - clearly a brothel just next door and lots of noise at night • Windows are single-glazed so block very little noise out. We were woken up every night several times • No air conditioning and windows don’t open wide so still very hot even if windows are left open until you sleep (can’t leave them open due to noise outside) • Towels smelt of cigarette smoke and were very old and hard • Hairdryer didn’t work • TV was brand new but hadn’t been set up (tuned or connected to wifi) • Only one toilet roll provided for stay • No glasses provided except wine glasses in the apartment, also no scissors, kitchen facilities generally poor and you’d struggle to cook in there

Not any real positives except proximity to train station and Marktplatz

The apartment needs an overhaul since there are quite many things to repair and replace.

The host was very quick at responding.

The apartment didn't look at all like the pictures. The kitchen stove and oven are outdated and broken. The electrical outlets where poorly located. The shower was only a half shower. When we arrived the towels were wet! There weren't enough glasses and dishes, not even a set of wine glasses or tea cups.

Good location. Clean. Big window.

lack of communication and getting responses hours after asking questions

last minute change of property that was not told to me until after I landed. No choice or chance to do anything due to toilet issue. Alternate property was steaming hot, far away and not to the level of what the original property was. I didn’t have proper instructions on how to access the property or who to meet. it was all difficult and created a stressful unpleasant experience.

It would have been the noisiest property l have ever stayed in. Before having International guests, get double glazing on these windows. Two days of about five hours sleep. Bed was cheap and very uncomfortable 😣 Very old apartment with some new additions. Only two wine glasses and two very small espresso cups available. An apartment missing a lot of items.

Very helpful friend of owner, sorting a few problems. Coffee Machine available with pods ✅
