About this apartment rental
The apartment is on 2 floors (2nd floor and attic). Both floors are furnished with taste and high quality. The castle view makes this apartment truly unique. You can enjoy it from the dining area, from the balcony, from both bathrooms, from bedroom 1 and from the studio in the attic. This is rare to find in Heidelberg.
The two tastefully designed bathrooms offer heated floors and extensive equipment: WC, bidet, large shower, large sink with mirror.
In the apartment there is an intelligent HEPA UV air purifier, aircleaner according to the studies of RKI and WHO this helps against corona viruses, filters dust, odors, allergens, microorganisms and chemical substances.
Included in the rental price is the use of high-speed internet, towels, bed linens and tea towels. A small selection of coffee pods (Tassimo) is provided to get you started.
The history of the house, which today offers 4 holiday apartments, dates back to the 15th century. At that time, it served as the house of the forester of the castle. The house is located in the center of the old town in the immediate vicinity of the Heiliggeistkirche, the town hall and market square and on the outer edge of the pedestrian area. It thus offers all the advantages of the city center with regard to tourist destinations, restaurants and other activities. Since the apartment is located in a quiet side street, it is wonderfully quiet.
The house and apartments were completely renovated from 2012 to 2014 and connected to district heating in March 2014. Today the house combines historic walls with 21st century amenitites. The apartments are furnished in a tasteful and modern style and fully equipped.

Nice apartment in a good location.
10.0
The apartment was exactly as described - extremely well-equipped and spotlessly prepared. The location is excellent - only a few paces from Heidelberg's main street.
All shopping needs are catered for nearby (we thoroughly recommend the bakery Zeit Fur Brot!).
A boat trip on the Neckar, a visit to the wonderful Heidelberg castle (visible from the apartment), a walk on Philosophers' Way and a lovely organ concert in the Church of the Holy Spirit were highlights of our stay.
Thanks to Martina, the apartment owner, for her excellent communication.
We thoroughly recommend a stay here.

The castle views are wonderful and the apartment location is equally phenomenal. The apartment is spacious, clean and quiet. Numerous shops and restaurants are surprisingly close and just a few steps away. The apartment had plenty of space for our family of 6, and in the July heat, the air conditioned attic level was a blessing. When we had questions, the owner responded very quickly and positively. We would absolutely stay here again!

We could not have asked for a better apartment for our vacation. The location is fantastic and only a block from the main street with all of the shops and restaurants. You have a view of the castle from the window and balcony. The apartment was clean and exactly as described. The property manager was fantastic and quickly responded when my teenage son locked all the keys in the apartment by mistake. Highly recommend.

Apartment is well equipped with an exceedingly thoughtful touch. We could use scissors to take off a tag; it’s there. Well equipped kitchen. Delightful toy box for almost four year old! Location was wonderful and view of castle outstanding. My legs appreciated the workout that the winding stairs provided and gave a reminder that I need to exercise more Thank you!!!!

We loved staying at this updated and extremely clean apartment. It is wonderfully located in the old town of Heidelberg near the Hauptstrasse and just a funicular ride up to the Castle. The beds were comfortable, and with two bedrooms and a bath located downstairs (along with the kitchen and living room) and a bedroom and bath plus a sitting room upstairs, we, two couples, had the space and privacy we needed. The deck is wonderful and offers exceptional views of the Castle, as do three other spaces in the apartment. The apartment is located on the third floor, so there are steps to climb. We are in our 70s and considered them our exercise for the day. I would definitely enjoy staying here again!

We rented this beautiful apartment in the centre of Heidelberg Altstadt to host my family during a destination wedding.
Everything about our stay was wonderful, and I highly recommend this booking or anyone who is looking for a relaxing retreat while still being only steps away from marktplatz.
The apartment was on the 3rd and 4th floor, and it offered a full kitchen with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The balcony offered stunning views of Heidelberg Palace and was a great place to relax when you just needed to get a bit of peace and quiet.

The location is perfect for the old town and castle. Parking garages are with easy walk. The property is very nice and very well-equipped in the kitchen. Martina was very responsive.

A fantastic stay- great location, beautiful units, modern amenities. Attended a sports camp in the area, and was able to get to all the transit options available with ease, and was positioned to enjoy the Old Town of Heidelberg perfectly.

I cannot overstate how much we enjoyed staying at this property. Everything was well documented for our arrival, the host was very communicative, the place was clean and huge! Our kids loved it, the kitchen had everything we needed, the balcony was awesome with a view of the castle, the neighborhood was so quaint, and the location to everything you need was perfect! You are a mere 1 min walk to a bus stop, and the Bergbahn to travel up the mountain to the castle. A 1 min walk the other direction puts you on the Main Street where you can buy food, eat out, go shopping, etc. I don’t think it gets better, honestly.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Himmelreich apartment in Heidelberg City Center, the location was incredible with the Heidelberg Schloss just steps from the doorway and an abundance of amazing restaurants and shopping. The apartment was modern and well appointed with all the amenities our family needed for a comfortable extended stay.
There is an incredible view of the Castle from apartment which we truly enjoyed. The owners were readily available and very helpful with check in and check out. We will definitely be back!

The apartment is great. Location is perfect for walking to main Heidelberg attractions like the castle, bridge, old town markets, etc.
The host was kind enough to help us get packages delivered before Christmas, which we really appreciated.
The only cautionary item for those considering booking is that there are a lot of narrow staircases to maneuver in order to access the apartment. So if you have large bags or are in any way unable to climb many floors, it may not be ideal for you. Otherwise, it is perfect!

We had a great time in Heidelberg. This home was perfectly located with views of the castle. Super neat property. We would definitely rent again!

Perfect location & lovely place!
We had a wonderful stay at the Heidelberg House. Such a rare find for a spacious three bedroom apartment this close to Altstadt. It was perfect for our three generation family of six, including teens, adults, and seniors. Martina was very helpful in answering our questions and helping us out. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer!

Perfect Stay In Old Town Heidelberg!
The location was perfect as the main square is just a stroll from your door! We loved the electronic check-in system, as we always hate to have others waiting for us to arrive. The apartment is beautiful and well equipped. The views of the castle and surrounding hillside are amazing from the rooms and the patio. The air-conditioning was an added bonus as it was very hot during our stay.
All of the beds were very comfortable, and there were plenty of pillows!
If stairs are an issue for you, note that this apartment is on the top floor, with steep steps. Also, this apartment is in a pedestian-only area. It is easy to access with a car though. We dropped off our belongings, then turned in our car rental so we would not have to deal with parking.

I ❤️ Heidelberg
The apartment was perfect for our family. Our two teens were thrilled to have their own rooms and we were just as thrilled to have ours upstairs. Air conditioning in an apartment is unheard of - we were very grateful, as it got fairly warm! So close to everything we wanted. Literally- the perfect location. We will totally stay there again!!!

Lovely Heidelberg
The property was as described clean, well equipped, in a quiet neighborhood but within walking distance of many amenities. A very nice place to stay for our visit to Heidelberg. We really enjoyed the views of the castle at night. (I’m sure the view is equally good during the day but we weren’t in much during the day.)

Herrlich war's im Himmelreich
In der großzügig geschnittenen, geschmackvoll möblierten und topp sauberen Wohnung haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Sie ist genauso, wie sie im Portal dargestellt wird und bietet einen herrlichen Blick auf das abends beleuchtete Schloss. Die Kommunikation von Beginn bis zur Schlüsselübergabe war immer sehr schnell und herzlich. Bis in die Fußgängerzone sind es nur ein paar Schritte, ebenso zur Bergstation. Die Fahrt mit der alten Zahnradbahn zum Kaiserstuhl gehört zu unseren Highlights. Wir waren rundum zufrieden!

Tolle Wohnung mit super Ausblick.
Alles entsprach voll unseren Erwartungen. Eine tolle Wohnung. Etwas nervig und teuer war das Parken im Parkhaus.

The location is absolutely amazing! We loved how close it was to Heidelberg’s Main Street.
We had a great time. We really enjoyed that the apartment span over two floors and is very spacious. We ate on the balcony with a gorgeous view of the castle and loved being mere footsteps away from all the historic places. We also appreciated the feeling of an old style building, court yard and all.
Check in was super easy and our requests were followed up on quickly without delay.

Traumwohnung in der Altstadt
Klasse Wohnung, Mittendrin und doch ruhig, sehr schön eingerichtet, wir fühlten uns sofort heimisch.
Wir würden bedenkenlos wieder diese romantische und doch moderne Wohnung jederzeit Buchen!

Wunderbar
Die Wohnung besticht durch Ihre Großzügigkeit und die nette Einrichtung. Alle notwendigen (und darüber hinaus) Utensilien waren vorhanden. Lediglich eine einfache Kaffeemaschine hat uns persönlich gefehlt. Aber wir konnten uns schnell behelfen. Die Lage ist hervorragend. Mit wenigen Schritten ist man in der Altstadt.

Tolle Ferienwohnung in sehr zentraler Lage!
Es war alles vorhanden, um unbeschwerte Tage in HD zu verbringen! Supermarkt um die Ecke...
Nachtleben vor der Haustür und dennoch ruhig! Wir kommen wieder...

Perfect in every way!
Everything about this flat is wonderful! The location in the heart of the Altstadt is absolutely amazing, and the flat is very comfortable, well-equipped, and immaculately clean. And the views of the castle are just breathtaking. We enjoyed every single minute of our stay. Martina communicated quickly and clearly, and she very kindly allowed us to stay a couple of extra hours when our original return flight was cancelled. We would love to stay here again when in Heidelberg, and we will recommend this property to our family and friends.

Lovely apartment in the center of Altstadt
Quite spacious and very well located apartment in the center of Altstadt. Close to pretty much everything.
Rooms were big, and so was were the bathrooms. We very much enjoyed our stay.
Only Challenge we had was that the apartment wasnt heated when we arrived. As the apartment is Big and not new, it took us some time to reach a proper temperature.
