First of all, for foreigners, I'd highly recommend this airbnb, as the owner is fluent in English. For the room, the whole ground floor is assigned for you as the guest, which is quite nice. everything you need is there and if you stay for longer than a few days, all the every day tools are there. I think the owners take good care of their guests and make it obvious what their wishes are on how you treat their place. They can also recommend you places to go. Value for money is quite high, given rha Heidelberg may be expensive for Airbnb's, but Michael and Ana charge very reasonable prices for a big room. The location a bit far from the centre but a tram will take you there in 15 minutes. Also if it were closer to the centre it probably wouldn't be this cheap. All in all a very happy stay for 2 days, highly recommended!

Fantastic flat, it is just located 15 min by tram ride to the Center of Heidelberg. Just within walking distance, from Lidl, Aldi and Rewe. Michael is great host. He answers his emails promptly. The flat is very comfortable and has everything you need. The kitchen is fully equipped too. There is an off street parking just outside with no parking restrictions. We took the advantage of buying the Heidelberg Pass. It is worth it if you are planing to visit the Castle. I will highly recommend it

Everything is perfect for 100 points. Although the house is called a small room, it is not small at all. It is a very large space for a person. The kitchen and bathroom are extremely clean. The house also has a beautiful garden and balcony. The landlord couple are very friendly people. You will have plenty of private space. The house is very quiet and beautiful. There are supermarkets, pubs and restaurants not far from the residence. I recommend it to everyone.💯💯💯

Siamo arrivati in questo bellissimo e tranquillo quartiere di Heidelberg in serata; ci eravamo messi d'accordo con il proprietario che ci avrebbe lasciato le chiavi nella cassetta della posta, dandoci precise e impeccabili istruzioni sulla posizione dell'appartamento, che si è rivelato molto bello e accogliente; è praticamente nuovo, con tre stanze e due bagni; ampio lo spazio soggiorno, un po' piccolina la cucina, ma c'è tutto quello che serve. Abbiamo condiviso l'appartamento con un altra famiglia, ma ci siamo trovati davvero bene. Michael è stato sempre disponibile, ci scambiavamo i messaggi tramite l'applicazione airbnb e non abbiamo avuto nessun problema. Se dovessimo tornare ad Heidelberg, tornerei qui sicuramente.

Ana Lilia and Michael greeted us at the door and showed us the apartment (which is much more spacious than the pictures suggest). Located a short tram ride from the Altstadt the neighborhood is a haven of peace, full of gardens and walking paths. Ana Lilia and Michael are perfect hosts, discrete but available. We look forward to visiting again.

Tolle Unterkunft! Wir waren zu sechst, hatten durch zwei Bäder und zwei Küchen ausreichend Platz für alle. Auch den Balkon am Wohnzimmer haben wir gut genutzt. Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und sehr gepflegt - es gibt alles, was man braucht. Die Kommunikation mit Michael war sehr unkompliziert. Wir haben uns wirklich wohl gefühlt! Vielen Dank :)

Die Kommunikation mit Ana Lilia verlief sehr einfach, schnell und reibungslos. Die Wohnung war super schön, ruhig und sehr sauber: Toll ausgestattete Küche, mega schönes Bad & Wohnzimmer, bequeme Betten. In der nahen Umgebung findet man alles was man so braucht: Supermarkt, DM, leckere Restaurants, Bäckerei, usw. Wir waren über Silvester dort und konnten auf dem nahe gelegenen Aussichtspunkt "Karlslust" wunderschön das Feuerwerk über der Stadt anschauen. Sehr gute Bahn-Verbindung in die Innenstadt (ohne Umsteigen, 15min). Alles in allem haben wir uns in der Unterkunft sehr wohl gefühlt und empfehlen diese gerne weiter.

War super, nur wurde gerade abends sehr auf Ruhe geachtet, dass oben nicht gelaufen, oder Stühle verschoben werden, dar dies unten bei den Vermietern wohl sehr laut zu hören ist. Also: Top für einen entspannten Aufenthalt, bei dem abends nach 10 Uhr Ruhe ist. Wir haben in der sehr schön eingerichteten Küche gekocht, super in den Betten geschlafen, 2 Balkone und das schöne Bad genossen und Heidelberg tagsüber erkundet. Bis auf den Flüsterspieleabend hätten wir uns für diese Zwecke keine bessere Unterkunft vorstellen können!
