Guest Reviews
- Brad (9/5): - We've stayed in this apartment a few times now when visiting our kids and grandchildren, and like it overall. Its a great location in Gundeli nearby many restaurants and cafes, and right on the 36 bus line. The hosts are always super responsive and give us detailed information about check-in and check-out, which have always been flawless. The bathroom door was particularly loud and creaky, so much that it would wake us up at night when one of us went to the toilet. Just needs some oil. Also the light outside of the building that usually goes on when you approach at night was out, but this is more of a building management issue rather than pertaining to this aparment. Minor issues that could be fixed to improve our stay. We will still be back though!
- Sandji (6/5): - We stayed in this apartment for 4 nights in Basel. The complimentary “Basel Card” was excellent and very useful, offering free tram transport and museum discounts. The rooms were spacious and the location reasonably convenient.
However, the main issue was the lack of heating during our entire stay, despite temperatures of around 9–11°C during the day and colder at night. We were told it was a public holiday and the building management could not be reached, but portable heaters should have been provided.
The 3pm check-in and 11am check-out were inconvenient, especially as we had to pay for luggage lockers after arriving early. The instructions and address were also sent rather late, which was difficult as we had no internet access in Switzerland upon arrival.
The bathroom was extremely small and narrow, with nowhere to hang clothes or towels, not even a hook. Other issues included poor-quality toilet paper, a toaster with the wrong plug, no curtains (only shutters), a glass kitchen door reducing privacy, and ants in the living room.
- Aubu93 (10/5): - Everything was perfect! Very clean, central accomodation.

- Gael (7/5): - La procédure pour récupérer les clés est très bien expliquée.... mais seulement quand on sait sur quel lien cliquer et qu'on le recoit en temps et en heure. Je trouve que le lien devrait porter un nom clair comme 'récupérer la clé' ou 'comment ouvrir la porte' plutôt que 'enregistrement'.

- Maggie (10/5): Can’t wait to stay again. - Everything. The apartment has everything we needed. A good size. Comfortable beds. Kitchenette. The location is great near the sbb, tram, supermarket and restaurants. The team who support are super efficient and friendly. Everything was great.
- Jacqueline (9/5): Gerne wieder! - Sehr gute Lage, sehr gute Einrichtung Minus-Punkte beim Bad (Decke und fehlende Haken)
- Ermal (5/5): - The only positive thing I can say is that the appartement was very clean.
Propably is a nice appartement if only 2 people (nothing exceptional like the pictures shows in de description) This small appartement is good only for 2 people, and definitely not for more than 2!
The description in booking is misleading thinking there are 2 sleeping rooms, but there is only one sleeping room (which is good) and a very small living room with very terribly uncomfortable sofa bed.(very small kitchen)
We paid for 3 nights, but stayed only 1 night and I took another hotel for the other 2 because it was very small for 4 people.

- Xandra (10/5): Perfect apartment. Will be back - Had everything we needed. Exceptionally clean. Great location, close to Bus stop and Tram. Very friendly communication with staff. Easy to self check in. Great transport pass for our whole stay Absolutely nothing negative. Just want to mention it cost us CH207 to park our vehicle in the official parking basement suggested to us, for 2.5 days. A substantial amount to calculate in the stay
- Iryna (1/5): Misleading fees and refused refund - We booked this property for a family stay in Basel, but the experience was extremely disappointing. After booking, we were charged £120 for cleaning on top of a £92 nightly rate, which was not clearly disclosed in advance. When I questioned this, the host told us to leave the property if we hadn't touched anything and said they would refund us — but later only offered £70 out of the £205 we paid, claiming"toilet usage."
In the end, we did not stay at the property and have received no refund.
Communication with the host stopped once we raised these issues.
This left us stranded with a child, out of pocket, and without accommodation. Be very cautious — hidden fees and unprofessional handling completely ruined our stay.

- Harald (8/5): Insgesamt gut - Gute Ausstattung , gute Lage Zugang zur Wohnung erst schwierig, Tür klemmte, daher erste Nacht Übernachtung in einem anderen Quartier. Konnten Initial Keinen erreichen.
- M.C. (6/5): Gematigd door ontbreken card en lawaai straat. - Het appartement lag in een leuke buurt.
Met prima bed en zitkamer Het appartement lag aan heel drukke weg.
Heel kleine ruimte voor toilet/wastafel door het bad.
Er werd geen Basel Card verstrekt, die geeft gratis ov en flinke korting op musea en attracties, heeft ons zeker 100 franc gescheeld!!!
Op verzoek voor zo’n kaart werd niet gereageerd door personeel.
- Murielle (10/5): Perfect stay near the station for family and friends - 14mins walk from the train station, also there's a bus station nearby (around 4mins walk). Customer service is great! Responds to requests and questions immediately. The property itself is clean and perfect for 4 pax. We used the kitchen a lot, but there's little space for meal prep. Knife also needs to be sharpened. Everything else was great!
- Patrick (9/5): A cute & comfortble apartment in a quiet area just outside central Basel - maybe the best deal in the city. - This cute and comfortable property is perfectly located in an adorable, mostly residential, neighborhood just outside the city center, with easy access to anything in Basel by tram, bus, or foot. It’s bright and breezy, and thankfully also has black-out blinds for good sleeping. Several grocery stories, restaurants, and bars, plus an incredibly popular gelateria (I admit I never went because the lines were too long), are within 2 blocks. A full-size fridge and kitchen essentials meant I could save money by cooking there. Best of all, the management team was consistently available and helpful weeks before, and throughout my stay. I should also note the great shower with good water pressure! The bath tub is a large step up from the bathroom floor and, having been perfectly cleaned, was a little slippery the first time I stepped into it. Some caution is required.
- Kinneret (9/5): Superb - loved the location! very clean, has everything you need in it. attentive host.
close to tram lines, restaurants and supermarkets.
- Kotwal (8/5): Very good - We liked the convenience of the location Too noisy and a Fan or AC is necessary due to extreme heat. Furthermore it is more for 3 people rather than 4
