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!

Cozy designer home directly on the water & downtown
We felt very comfortable in the apartment, everything needed is available and with further wishes - in our case a high chair - Michaela and Christian are easily accessible and help quickly. The location is really great, quiet and yet close to the center, also the bus to the sea runs virtually at your doorstep.

Renovated beachfront apartment
I felt very comfortable in the apartment. Very nicely furnished and everything you need was there. It is wonderful that the small apartment is very flooded with light, even if the view aif the concrete bunker is not so nice, but it shines in the sun until the evening - sunset included 😊 If you're a little sensitive to noise, keep in mind that you can hear the fridge humming in just one room. Check-in instructions were great, very easy, only the lock tweaked a little... was not so easy to get on. Andreas was very easy and reachable at short notice, thank you, dear Andreas!

Water view city idyll 3 room apartment Lübeck
We, grandparents with two granddaughters, felt very comfortable in the beautiful, friendly, cozy and bright apartment. The city center was quick and easy to reach. We would all have liked to have stayed longer, but unfortunately the carnival holidays are now ending in Bavaria. We'd love to come back and the apartment remains our first choice...

Cozy basement apartment right on the canal
The two hosts were extremely friendly and very quick to respond if there were any questions. There was even a little treat on the made bed as a welcome gift. The accommodation was very clean and extremely nicely located directly on the North Baltic Sea Canal but still quiet in the area. The stay was generally more than good and the price performance ratio was great. If we come back to Kiel in the future, are the two of our first point of contact for a home.

Alster, Lake view!
Everything was great there! We felt comfortable in the Airbnb and didn't miss anything. Adam responded to messages quickly and was very friendly. We would always come back! :-)

Cosy Studio Apartment near the beach
This apartment is just great. We felt comfortable from the first moment. The location is unique,the balcony just beautiful as well as the view. Julia is totally reliable,friendly,helpful... We will be back! Thanks for the great time

Come2Stay Hafencity 2 - Elbblick- Marco Polo Tower
Great apartment to explore Hamburg. There were 3 of us and we had enough room in the apartment. The amenities are of very high quality and we felt at home. Comfortable bed (including great views) and sofa bed. Quietly located, within walking distance of restaurants, shops and the U-Bahn. Communication with Katharina and Martin was great. We'd love to come back when we're in Hamburg.

Relaxation sought Relaxation booked 800 m to the sea
Thank you for the wonderful time in the Reiterkate. We wanted a quiet New Year's Eve for our dogs and are happy that it worked out so well. A very idyllic farm in a great location and in summer certainly even more beautiful than it already is. :-)

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.

Gut Einhaus on the Baltic Sea - Spacious house with T
We stayed at Katharina's beautiful place over New Year's Eve with 4 families and a total of 6 children and had a great time! There is a lot of space and retreat options. The playroom is perfect and the kids loved it. The house is super equipped and was super cozy! Next time would use the upper bedroom but only as a game room. We will definitely be back, next time in summer so we also have something from the pool and tennis court:) Thanks also to Ms. Ms. Marthiensen for the nice welcome!

Vacation home by the park
There is not much to do in the area but it was peaceful and the apartment was comfortable

perfectly equipped, large, quiet country house
Absolute recommendation, especially for a larger group! Peter welcomed us in a very friendly way. The fire was already burning in the fireplace and immediately gave a very cozy and inviting feeling. The whole house has a very cozy flair. We were there as a family and had a very nice Christmas. Peter is very helpful. We had a very interesting and stimulating conversation. We were also allowed to meet Laura, who also has a very approachable manner. Thank you for hosting us and we will be happy to come back. Jörg and Nathalie with family

⚓🧙♂️❤ Cozy - Central - Modern - On the canal
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 😊

Idyllic location with a view
We felt very comfortable in the apartment, with the view over the countryside and close to the lake. The apartment is bright and cozy, and Susan is a very friendly and attentive hostess. Highly recommended place to stay!

Right by the sea - apartment "JUSTE 5" for 2 people
Great location with sun, calm and inland waters on the terrace side and the sea on the other side of the street. We enjoyed the sun on the terrace very much. Delicious wine and good advice right outside the door in the wine bar. Very tastefully furnished, cozy apartment. For our taste, the bed was a little bit hard, but we also sleep very soft. The walls to the adjoining apartments are thin (bring earplugs). We liked it all around – we had a nice vacation weekend :) . Tip for the surrounding area: Bring or rent bicycles

Top location, lovingly equipped. Pure well-being.
We had a wonderful time in Scharbeutz at Katharina & Martin's place. The apartment is really very nice, clean, bright and lovingly furnished. The kitchen is well furnished and also takes into account the small vacation guests. It's totally great that everything you needed for a vacation with a toddler was available. It was a great relief for us. The beach with the promenade and numerous small shops and restaurants is located just a few minutes' walk down the street. We felt very comfortable and would definitely be very happy to come back!

Lovely apartment on the sea side near the beach (150 m)
Beautiful stay with sea views We had a very nice time in the apartment on the Baltic Sea. The apartment was clean, well equipped and the sea view simply fantastic – waking up every morning overlooking the water was very special. Everything was very pleasant and we felt completely comfortable. Also the host was very friendly and helpful. Thanks Ute and Günter:) We would come back anytime!

Apartment uptown in the Olympic harbor Schilksee
Everything was fine. I felt very comfortable in the apartment where everything is color-coordinated - even the kitchen sponge is black and grey ;-) I'd love to come back.

Beautiful living in the country house on the edge of the field
We had a great stay with Mieke and Christian. We were so warmly welcomed and felt totally comfortable. Since we wanted to combine peace and nature and excursions to Hamburg city center, everything was right for us. Lightning fast in the city and around the apartment nature and relaxation. Thank you for the lovely stay in your cute apartment!

Studio apartment with marina view!
I really enjoyed my stay at this wonderful place. Even before my arrival, I felt warmly welcomed thanks to the friendly and personal communication of the hosts. The apartment immediately convinced me with its loving decor and cozy ambience!
