Unesco Heritage & Steps to Bern's Sites!

JasminRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Fantastic location, this apartment was bigger than we expected and the kitchen was fully equipped; bed was comfortable. Stairs were challenging with heavy suitcases to the third floor but the nature of staying in old town and such a historic building/area. Would recommend.

"al alba" in atmospheric, quiet loft

AndreaRating, 5 stars3 days ago

We enjoyed staying in this beautiful loft very much. We were very warmly welcomed by Gema and cared for during the stay. We experienced Gema as very loving, friendly and helpful and the communication - both in advance and during the stay - we found excellent. Gema provided us with all the important information and we could send a message at any time and Gema responded promptly and very friendly. We felt very comfortable and welcome and would like to thank you again very much for the encounter and for the great care. The apartment is very lovely and stylish and very clean. The breakfast was very versatile, fresh and very delicious. We also enjoyed the location of the Airbnb very much. By public transport, you can reach Bern in about 13 minutes. We highly recommend the place.

Central City - inkl Parking and Bern Ticket

SonyaRating, 5 stars5 days ago

Eva Maria's apartment in Monbijou neighbourhood right near the city centre of Bern is phenomenal! Quiet yet right on the tram-line to Bern's main tram and the main train station. The location to both the trains, all city sightseeing in and out of town, and directly to the main conference centre was perfect for my conference and touring days. The apartment is so spacious and has everything you could possibly need. It was a dream to come "home" after busy conference or touring days to relax and so nice to feel at home and ready to go for work days with the great coffee maker and coffee supplied! Just special little touches everywhere! I would most definitely stay at this cute apartment again when in Bern and can't thank Eva Maria enough, one of the most responsive and helpful hosts I have encountered, she made it all easy!

Old Town Apartment

EstelleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Kai's apartment is super centrally located, in the middle of the beautiful old town of Bern. It's important to know that the two bedrooms and living spaces are separated from the kitchen and bathroom by the stairwell. The apartment is functionally furnished. We were allowed to leave the luggage in the apartment earlier, which was very accommodating to us. Also on the day of departure we had a luggage depot available in another central location. Ideal for short stays to visit the city.

⭐Cosy house with wood stove and sunny garden⭐

5 out of 5 average rating, 202 reviews1 month ago

This is the third time we rented Anja's & Raphael's Stöckli and it was as great as it was the first time. We love the small house and the location. It is very quiet, peaceful and scenic. Having such warm, friendly and generous hosts ads to the experience. It is always a nice surprise to get a few fresh eggs from their own hens, homemade jam or some honey from their bees. Overall, a fantastic experience, we can highly recommend them.

Bernadette has a gorgeous apartment which was well stocked, thoughtful. And stylish. The view from the terrace was amazing and we managed to catch a beautiful sunset over the mountains. While it was a climb with our large luggages, my family felt it was worthwhile for the comfortable stay. It is also just a 5 min walk to the bus train with Coop and Migro around the corner. Would totally recommend it! Thank you Bernadette for hosting!

2 bedroom apartment with a view of Bern

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 204 reviews3 weeks ago

My husband & I stayed at Eva's Airbnb for 4 x nights during our roadtrip around Switzerland. Eva is a fantastic host, very responsive, friendly and welcoming with excellent hospitality, and communication was easy. The apartment is private and quiet and looks just like the photos, very comfortable, and we felt relaxed and right at home. The location is excellent for exploring Bern (we recommend Bern Old Town), Swiss Caves and Interlaken and Bern is easily accessible (5 mins away) by car with plenty of car parking stations with low parking fees. The beds were very comfortable with excellent bedding and mattress for a restful nights sleep and the shower with good water pressure and hot. We would highly recommend a stay at Eva's Airbnb for visiting Bern and the surrounding areas!

One if our favourite air bnb's during our 2 week honeymoon. The house was immaculate, they have thought of everything you'd need - a home away from home.

Finally the views were breathtaking, a peaceful and safe place to stay. 10/10 - thank you so much!

Renate & Martin are very thoughtful and always helpful. Their place is a gem in itself and has everything that one might need during their stay but with a touch of tastefully designed and decorated items. The place is as beautiful outside as it is on the inside. Will definitely stay with them if we get the chance again.

Exceptional host and property. We felt right at home in the apartment and local area. The host remembered and supplied the extra bedding we needed which was excellent as usually this doesn’t happen with other hosts. He made us feel so welcome and taken care of. He was so considerate and proactive. Lovely, kind people. The location is ideal - 1 minute or so to a transport hub that has you in the centre of the city within minutes. Local shops and restaurants within 1 or 2 minutes walk also. The best of locations - so near to the centre but so quiet and peaceful. Thank you for such a great stay.

Our stay at Michael's place in Bern, Switzerland, was exceptional. The apartment was impeccably clean, modern, and well-stocked, making it feel like a true home away from home. The hosts were incredibly courteous and helpful, sharing their extensive travel experiences and local insights. One of the highlights was a delightful dinner they hosted for us, filled with delicious homemade dishes and joyful conversation. Located in a secure and quiet neighborhood, the apartment was still centrally situated with excellent public transportation options. This perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility allowed us to explore Bern effortlessly. Overall, this Airbnb exceeded our expectations. With its modern amenities, welcoming hosts, and prime location, our stay felt like a dream getaway. We left with cherished memories and a strong desire to return!
