Very charming city with a convenient stay
We had a short two-night stay as we visited the Zollverein UNESCO site and the lovely town of Ketterwig on our way to Koln. The space had everything we needed and it was very easy to park and walk to all the shops and restaurants and enjoy a great run along the Ruhr path. Peter was very welcoming and helpful and the place suited our needs. It is split into two units but they are across a short hall with your own private entrance and exit.

Peter is an excellent host. He speaks English well and is very accommodating to those of us who are still learning Deutsch! He gave me lot of helpful info about the area - and Germany, in general. This place has a lot of character and was just perfect for my stay.

Warm welcome
Our host Peter was very welcoming and we got a nice and fresh apartment. A plus for us was that Peter speaks both Swedish and Norwegian :) The immediate area was very nice and there is also plenty to see if you want to go a little further. Thank you for being so accommodating!

Super Bude
Nicht nur, dass die Wohnung gemütlich und stilvoll renoviert und eingerichtet ist, für 4 Leute reichlich Platz bietet, auch übergroße Fahrräder einen trockenen Platz im Schuppen angeboten bekommen, die Vermieter für einen netten Plausch zu haben sind und die empfohlende Eisdiele nach wenigen Minnuten Fußweg voll und ganz überzeugen kann. Nein, bei berechtigter Beschwerde über das Wetter während der Anreise per Rad gibt's am nächsten Tag auch noch Sonnenschein und leichten Rückenwind (Angabe der Reiserichtung nicht vergessen!) frei Wohnung.

Waren sehr zufrieden! : )
Wir waren mit einer kleinen Gruppe hier, um eine Veranstaltung in der Messe Düsseldorf zu besuchen, die man in unter 30 Minuten mit dem Auto erreicht. Die Unterkunft war sauber und ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man für einen kurzen Aufenthalt braucht. Kommunikation per FeWo-direkt-Chat und Check-In-Vorgang waren sehr unkompliziert, Parkplätze sind auf den Straßen um die Wohnung i.d.R. gut zu finden. Unbedingt zu empfehlen ist die Pizzeria nur wenige Häuser weiter! : ) Vielen Dank!

Wij hebben heel erg leuk gehad. Woning is op zich gedateerd maar schoon en zit erin wat je nodig hebt. Het stadje is super mooi en old town is heel dichtbij. Veel restaurants met heerlijk eten. Onze gast heer was heel aardig en we hebben geen last van gehad dat hij boven woonde. Wij misde wel een stukje tuin of terrasje waar je van de mooi weer kon genieten. Al met al super leuk gehad.

Erwartungen nicht erfüllt
Im Badezimmer leicht Schimmel und Haare. Die Ferienwohnung wurde während unserer Abwesenheit betreten, da auf einmal ein Paket (adressiert an die nachbar Adresse) in unseren Räumlichkeiten stand. Schade, Privatsphäre ist uns wichtig. Morgens um 7 steht man senkrecht im Bett, da die Familie oben drüber beim Start in den Tag die halbe Wohnung zerlegt. Parkmöglichkeiten für mehr als ein Fahrzeug = schlecht! Zusammenfassung: Haben aufgrund der Bilder mehr erwartet, schade eigentlich. Preis in Ordnung.

Wochenende in Essen
Wir haben für ein Wochenende eine kleine Unterkunft für uns (2 Erwachsene, zwei kleine Kinder) benötigt. Die FeWo in Kettwig liegt zwar etwas abseits der Stadt, hat aber in der Nähe einen Supermarkt und einen Bäcker. Liegt allerdings direkt an der Strasse. Parkplätze sind in der Nähe zu finden, man muss vielleicht mal 50 m laufen. Die Wohnung selbst ist rustikal und gemütlich eingerichtet. Wohnbereich und Küche sind durch einen Korridor von den Schlafzimmern getrennt. Das eine Schlafzimmer ist gleichzeitig ein Durchgangszimmer. Fazit, rustikal eingerichteter Altbau, genügend Platz für alle. Super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis

Kurzurlaub
Wir waren zufrieden. Die Lage ist super (man muss nur wissen, dass die FeWo an einer Hauptstraße liegt und man somit Verkehrslärm hat). Der Gastgeber sehr freundlich und verbindlich. Einziger Kritikpunkt ist die Sauberkeit. Aber Reinigungsmittel sind vorhanden und man kann zur Not auch selbst Hand anlegen 😉.
