SilkeRating, 5 stars1 week ago
A great apartment! We felt super comfortable. Very tasteful and high quality furnishings with beautiful details. Really special! Communication was easy, quick and friendly. We were particularly pleased about the welcome in the kitchen! 😊 Getting parking in the street was difficult, but in about 200 m there is a larger parking space. So everything is great. When we are back in the area we will be very happy to come back! THANKS 🫶

LukasRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We stayed with 2 families in the accommodation(4 adults, 2 children) We had a few questions and suggestions such as crib and earlier arrival. It wasn't a problem at all. Communication was great and you got quick responses. The apartment was super clean and modernly furnished. The outdoor area was clean. It is an apartment building, you still have to keep that in mind, but neighbors were all (so far seen briefly) very friendly.

SofieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had a great stay at Laura’s place. The apartment is beautiful, modern and clean. The rooms are spacious, you’ll find everything you need for cooking or breakfast in the kitchen. There’s a parking spot in an underground parking lot available as well. The Goethe museum is close by and you can walk to the city center. Laura is very friendly and responsive, she even dropped off a bottle opener so we could enjoy our bottle of wine. 10/10 would recommend!

Maisonette Apartment in Krefeld with 2 balconies

BetülRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The duplex apartment is really beautiful! It looked exactly like the pictures, was super decorated and clean. We felt very comfortable. The Beuys team was very accessible and responded quickly and kindly to questions. Thank you! Only point of criticism: Some heaters (two in the living and dining area as well as one in the bedroom) did not work, which is why it was sometimes quite cool. However, the team informed us that there was an additional radiator in the apartment, which we then also used. Unfortunately, this had to be turned off overnight as it was quite noisy (for those not sensitive to noise probably no problem). Overall, everything was great!
