A lovely apartment where you feel at home right away, a super comfortable bed, the host replies quickly and is very friendly, supermarket right next door, bus stop right opposite, tram just a short walk away. Thanks for a lovely stay in Cologne!
I can really recommend this apartment. Everything is clean and super modern. Communication was flawless too. I felt very much at home and would happily come back :)
