Apartment Marktplatz

The location is perfect to get to markets and shopping. Host was very helpful and responsive.

The noise from restaurant was very bad on our 2nd night stay there, the restaurant was full with lots of people using the restroom which is next to the apartment and shouting and laughing until late. The pillows and beds are awful, the lighting is very dim and the floor boards creek a lot. There is no elevator. We were with children and the layout as described in other reviews is not suitable, as two beds are by the main entrance not a room, and the toilet is in the one bedroom, so if anyone needs to use the toilet at night everyone gets woken up. This is a great option for a group of adults for a night or two stay looking for simplicity to enjoy the city.

Restaurant noise Beds and pillows uncomfortable No elevator

Location is perfect. The house is spacious, lovely decorated and the beds are so comfortable.

There might be a kettle and coffee machine at the kitchen.

Excellent location, very roomy and access to laundry.

It snowed the day we arrived. And although it seemed, there was some heat coming out of the radiators. The room was fairly drafty and cold. But then again we are from Florida so I would take that with a grain of salt.

The location was good for the two nights in Basel.

As mentioned in a lot of the reviews, the towels (one each) were atrocious. Clean (but smelly - left in a washing machine too long), but old and tiny. What are they thinking, that these would be a pass for the traveller. For the amount that we are paying per night, how hard would it be to buy new or even have reasonable towels to present to the traveller, especially when most reviews mention this. You would think that the owner would take note, and deal with this side of his business. The WIFI is hit and miss. Most times MISS, It is a good thing that we paid a premium to stream our own data fromm our homje town. When running a business while travelling, or for any reason, it is always an advantage to have a connection that always drops out. Just a small container of some milk would have been good to start us off.

Arriving with a car made it a bit challenging to find, but host was so accommodating via phone and whatsapp to provide step by step instructions. Location for loading and unloading a car not ideal, but for touring the city, you couldn't be any more central. Ideally located for seeing the sites. After a two week holiday of tour biking, this was a perfect break from hotel living and camping, this apartment was perfect for a group who just wanted to chill at home, have a home-cooked meal, not have to out and about and RELAX.

In summer, it was a bit too hot, but again, the accommodating host provided us with a fan. The apartment is set up more for dormitory sleeping accommodations, which was great for the 5 of us (including dog - pet friendly!), but there's no living space (couch, chair, etc.).

- Fantastic location - Excellent communication from the host throughout eg. for check in, arranging Basel cards and checking our stay was going well - The apartment is quite large

- We knew there would be no air con but it was very hot. We kept the windows open which meant there was city noise till quite late - is just a trade off for the great location but did make sleep quite disturbed - The apartment is old and very basic. The windows / shutters don’t all work, there is a toilet pipe that runs across the bedroom ceiling, the floors / beds are very creaky noisy etc

This place is the best! The location - right where you want to be in old town, walking distance to everything with a tram a half a block away to get you anywhere else. The owner has an Italian restaurant on the second floor that is so delicious. And you get a discount for staying there. Friendly people, good location, balconies, I could ask for nothing more

Nothing it is perfect!

This was a large apartment in an older building in a perfect location in the old section of town. It was very comfortable warm great hot water and shower washer and dryer were very helpful. The owner had a restaurant on the first floor where he served a very good deal at a reasonable price (if anything these days is reasonable) and and he was very nice and very helpful. It was a 3 floor walk-up which is something older people might want to know. If I had to do it all over again I certainly would.

Frankly it was a very nice place, perfect location and the owner was very nice and helpful. Don't hesitate to stay here 🤗
