Wonderful

This accommodation is wonderful. It has everything you need and is away from the bustle of town, yet only a 5-minute drive to all the local sites. I loved my stay here. The owners were welcoming and made sure my stay was enjoyable. The kitchen is well stocked and the cottage is spacious.

Cute holiday getaway

The hosts were helpful and informative. The property is very quiet and the back gate opens up to a biking and walking trail. Very close to all the things we wanted to do, just a short drive away. The house was clean and easy to access, and we had everything we needed to cook in the kitchen. We stayed for Christmas!

Compact cottage in a pleasant area

We had a two night stay here and overall it was satisfactory but unfortunately the welcome was not as good as we have come to expect from several stays at other HomeAway properties. The allocated parking space was not made available for our arrival or stay so we parked on the street which was ok. The owners were not there when we arrived but eventually the father of the owner confirmed they were expecting us. The owners did arrive later that evening and provided things we needed for our stay such as washing powder. Both hosts were friendly with very good English though the lack of a proper welcome was a disappointing start. The cottage was small though reasonably clean and tidy and was fine for a short stay. The bathroom was pleasant with a good sized shower. The main bedroom was also a good size and the sofa-bed in the living room was reasonably comfortable. It was extremely hot when we stayed - high 30s - and it would have been useful to have a fan to help cool the cottage down. A welcome file with tourist advice and info about local shops, transport links, arrangements for recycling etc. would have been useful. The hosts provided this info when asked and we found their advice helpful. The area felt safe and there was a good supermarket about 20 minutes walk away. There were also good bus and tram links too into Heidelberg centre with a pleasant green walk along the back of the house to the shop and tram.
