Apartment "Elbsuite" in Hamburg's HafenCity
We had a wonderful time as a family of six adults! The apartment was spacious, beautifully decorated, and styled and the views were wonderful! Carmen was really helpful with check in and everything about our stay was perfect. We would definitely recommend staying here and hope to return some time as there is absolutely loads to do! Thank you Hamburg! And Carmen!

Apartment in direct proximity to the Elbe
Julian and Anna are extremely friendly hosts. Located in a chic residential area in Wedel, about 15 minutes from the train station. Top amenities, quiet location, glad to come back :)

Momo apartment
Everything wonderful! Central in Bergedorf with beautiful views of the castle. We felt very comfortable.

Apartment with lake view, Pönitz am See (Scharbeutz)
We stayed with Sven for a week and felt absolutely comfortable. Communication with Sven was excellent. The location with the lake is fantastic. By bike, you can reach the Baltic Sea in a few minutes. We can only recommend the apartment.

stayHere II Gorch-Fock-Studio: kitchen, bathroom, balcony
We found the apartment from the location perfect. Also very positive, no stress with constant parking. Either you take the underground parking space or there is always a parking space behind the house. We also loved the short distance to the S-Bahn (suburban train), which we often used. Clear recommendation also for the gastronomy in Wedel. We had a great week.

2-room apartment with balcony view of Außenalster
My stay at this Airbnb in Hamburg was just perfect! I was warmly welcomed at check-in, and communication with the host was always quick and friendly. The apartment itself was spotlessly clean, stylishly furnished and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. I was particularly impressed by the attention to detail – from high-quality bedding to well thought-out furnishings. The location is unbeatable: quiet, yet central with excellent public transport connections. In a few minutes you can reach great cafes, restaurants and attractions. I highly recommend this place. A big thank you to Slim, the host, for this extraordinary experience!

Lübeck: close to the city and green
Was personally received by Horst. He is a very friendly and warm person! The apartment is decorated in warm natural colors. First row overlooking the water, beautiful. Only 1 km from the wonderful old town, everything within walking distance. The apartment is extremely clean, which I have otherwise rarely experienced. Cooking utensils and coffee, oil, salt are available. Fresh bed sheets and towels were already prepared. As a person with long hair, I missed a hair dryer in the bathroom, especially now in winter. Still everything GREAT! I am very grateful for this experience and will be happy to come back. Thanks very much, Horst! :-)

Ganzes Haus, 80qm, Parkplatz, 6 Pers, WiFi, TV
Simply superb! The place was clean, cozy and exactly as described. Everything went smoothly, the host was friendly and responsive. We felt comfortable and would book again without hesitation. Clear recommendation!

Vacation home Kollmar Elbstrand
We were 6 adults and 2 toddlers in the accommodation and were completely satisfied. 😍 The place was very clean and had a pleasant decor. Everything necessary was there without feeling packed. The master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and sauna was used by the couple with the two toddlers, and was perfectly suited for it with the baby bed and the large family bed. Only the door to the room could not be locked, and if you were not careful, the toddlers could tear open the door to the room while you were in the open ensuite bathroom. 😅🤣 The other two bedrooms were very small but sufficient. The one bed in the bedroom consists of two single beds. The rooms are a bit noisy, mainly because of the open kitchen. We took long walks to the Elbe and enjoyed the tranquility. Henriette and Wilbert were great hosts, I will recommend the place

Bambushaus / Teehaus Kellinghusen
Super clean and it was like a relax place in a small forest. Very kind and friendly owner. Recommend!

Vacation home Walderholung Mölln
A nice big house to stay for our 2 weeks. Equipped with many kitchen utensils and lots of toys for the kids. Great travel distance to nice cities. Nice playground nearby and close to the lake. Malte and Jenni respond quickly and kindly. Top spot!

Cozy house on the dike with apple orchard
A fantastic place for us and our dogs (attention - sheep come to the garden fence and ducks from time to time in the garden ;) ). A quaint cozy house with dream views in all directions, a beautiful "wild" garden, the relaxing sauna, lots of small loving details and welcome gestures. Thank you for everything, we will definitely be back.

Stylish country house under thatch. Groups welcome
As a group, we were able to spend a quiet New Year's Eve in the beautiful house. The house is spacious and very suitable for a smaller party. There's plenty of room to sit and chat and plenty of retreats. Communication with the hosts was very good, not too much and not too little. Excellent!

Dat Au-Huus - Feel good and relax
We had a fantastic stay at this house! The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made us feel immediately welcome. The house itself was perfect and full of comforts and sparkling clean. We especially enjoyed the big garden, a lovely place to relax. In short, absolutely recommended!

Cozy lake house
We met Bernd and Kerstin as two very attentive and warm people who were approachable, unobtrusive and helpful. The cottage is as beautiful as in the pictures. The kitchen is very well equipped and when we were missing olive oil, Bernd brought us his, since he still wanted to go shopping anyway. How thoughtful! If you want, you can hear the story of the beautiful trees in the garden or anecdotes about the past of the old village school. From the bed / sofa you can admire the sunset on the lake. Tip: Outside the bathroom, where the underfloor heating was very pleasant in March, the cottage is quite cold on the feet. If you don't want to use the extra slippers provided by the two hosts (another sign of how attentive the hosts are), think of thick socks or slippers.

It was a great place. We enjoyed the apartment very much. It was very clean and equipped with all the necessary equipment. Would want to stay again 😊

Beautiful granny apartment in the green Alstertal
Were with 2 adults and 2 children for an extended weekend in the apartment. Perfect for our purposes. Plenty of space, clean and quiet. Very nice and friendly hosts. Located a few meters from the nearest U-Bahn/S-Bahn but the bus stop is not far. Clear recommendation!

Top location, lovingly equipped. Pure well-being.
We felt like at home in the apartment. We would come back anytime. Very clean. Beautifully decorated. Everything you need, very close.

Cozy and modern apartment for rent
The apartment was equipped with everything you needed. We were warmly welcomed with a few touches and fresh flowers on the kitchen table. Check-in was easy and we were also able to enter the apartment earlier on request, at short notice we were even able to stay until noon. We particularly liked the green surroundings, as there were many opportunities to walk the dog. Even a very nice dog run was within walking distance in about 5-10 minutes. It was located in a park with a stream. The metro and a large shopping center were also 10-15 minutes away through a beautiful green area. A perfect place to stay if you are traveling with a dog. A food bowl and a blanket were also ready for him on arrival! We will be happy to come back!

on the Elbe
We felt very comfortable and had a pleasant stay. Our dog was very welcome - 5 stars, we'd be happy to come back 👍😉

central apartment with a big garden near the Beach
We needed a place to stay at our daughter's wedding. The place is so nice that we were almost sad because of the celebrations not having spent more time in the apartment and the beautiful garden. Therefore, the next getaway is already planned. 😀 Evamaria is also such a great host. We have rarely experienced such a nice, friendly and uncomplicated landlady, and we are almost exclusively on vacation in apartments or houses. So, dear Evamaria, thanks again for the great stay.

Apartment on the Elbe - XR43
Very nice host, the apartment was very clean, well equipped. We'd love to come back.

ELBQUARTIER | Charming apartment right in the center
I was a guest at Nikita's place for a night and have to say that the apartment is just fantastic. Exactly as shown in the pictures and very very clean! Wedel is a lovely place! Very good restaurants in the immediate vicinity and the connection to Hamburg just perfect! I will definitely come back!
