We used the apartment over a long weekend, as a base to visit the Xmas markets in Cologne and Bonn. A 10 minute drive to the train station - with free parking - and a half hourly inexpensive train ride to the centre of Cologne made the visits easy. Bonn was a 30 minute drive away.
The apartment was really, really nice. Clean, well appointed, spacious and with all amenities. A parking space on the drive outside as well. I would advise new renters to be aware that access to the bedroom and bathroom on the first floor are by way of a narrow and steep circular staircase. Fortunately not a problem for us.
Andreas was a very accommodating host, meeting us on our arrival and checking all was well on the 3rd day. He had information about the train and bus timetables and the local supermarket. We particularly liked the leaving of local gingerbread biscuits on the table and chocolate Santa's on the beds - a really nice welcoming touch. He even made our dog feel welcomed!
When we return to this area we would definitely consider staying here again. Thank you Andreas.
