It's really cool to stay in this 500 year old property in the middle of the medieval old town. Big windows let in light and the music from buskers. Step outside to the wonderful arcades filled with shops, restaurants, and artisans. One block to the clock. Walking distance to all the museums. Market right out the front door on Saturday. Great bakery next door. We used the modern kitchen a lot, and took advantage of the great neighborhood. Highly recommended!

Outstanding apartment with absolutely unique interior, especially the oven from the 18. century. Located in the heart of the city, absolutely quiet at night. Very well equipped kitchen. Access uncomplicated. Highly recommendable. Comes with free public transport in Bern.

My daughter and I loved our apartment in Bern. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It is centrally located and easy to get everywhere, with shopping, coffee shops, trams outside the front door. You hear the famous clock at night! Rob and Sara were easily contacted but we didn’t really need anything. My daughter and I will miss the Sat/Tues farmers markets on the street below, and miss grocery shopping at COOP! The best fresh food in a grocery I have ever had. The apartment we stayed in had the bathroom and kitchen across the hall. It is NOT shared with any other visitors- there is only one apartment above the one we stayed in- and we never met anyone in the stairwell crossing the hallway. In truth, you are renting the whole floor, with a shared stairwell for a single apartment upstairs. I am looking forward to returning!!!!! Thank you Rob and Sara for a lovely stay. Oh- and I can’t forget the lovely smell of baking bread each morning from the bakery on the street level. I also loved staying in Bern bc it was a good home base for touring the area. We went to Aare Gorge/Grindelwald, Lucerne, Lausanne, And Geneva all by day trips on the train - easy! There is So Much to do on that side of the country.

A true gem - an historic home right in the city center. We felt like long time residents. Everything was close, market, restaurants, shops. Rob and Sara are wonderful, and very attentive to the details of our stay. We can't wait to go back.

I stayed here for 5 nights in October and it is one of the best VRBOs I have ever stayed at. The apartment is spacious, immaculate and you can really stretch out and feel like you are living in Old Town Bern. The location is centrally located and spectacular. It's an easy 10 minute walk from the main train station. You are in the heart of Old Town and the church bells ringing are enchanting. Plus the farmers' market on Saturday was out front on the street and stretched for several blocks. Such fun! Rob and Sara are incredibly responsive to any questions. I think the longest it took to hear back from them was about 4 minutes once. They provide very clear instructions on how things work in the apartment. The kitchen is nicely stocked with some basic ingredients, like spices and oils and vinegar, etc which is a real plus if you want to do any cooking. And the coffee machine makes the perfect espresso! The set up of the apartment is different than North American style as the kitchen and bathroom are across the central staircase. At first I thought this would be awkward and that I might run into another guest but that doesn't happen because the other guests are on a different floor. You might hear them below you in the hallway but you don't see them. Honestly the set up is a big nothing burger. I would definitely stay here again if I am back to Bern and I will certainly recommend it to any friends who are travelling there.
