Great Location in the City Center. BUT Serious upgrades are necessary in the whole place. Due to not heating the basement, the place was musty and even with opening windows, it came always direct back. The laminate flooring is in bad shape due to water damage? The bathroom is a 1950 standard and this was one of the reasons we left a day early. There was a washer, but the owner explained to us, we can only run it, when we are there due to the chance of flooding! Upon check in, later as we had asked for, the most important point was, how to close the entrance quietly, so they are not disturbed by the noise from the door. The whole entry area needs seriously work, with towels stuffed in a wall, etc. The place is advertised with a parking spot. We were told to drive around in the neighborhood to find street parking, which is "always" available. 2 days prior to our departure, my wife and I talked about this parking situation at breakfast; 30 minutes later we were offered a parking spot for the day in front of the house. The next day we parked there again and it did not seem to be a problem for him. He had offered us a bicycle to drive around, but we did not use it. Unfortunately we did not enjoy our stay.

It is a spacious ground floor flat (a Little bit downstairs) , very luminous (a lot of Windows in every room) and very comfortable. The owners, Maik and his wife live upstairs. Maik is really nice and he helped me in all I needed. They are very trustworthy and trusting people and they made me feel like an old neighbour of them. The situation of the house is perfect, because it is near the centrum (10 minutes walking) but at the same time it is very quiet. The bus to the university is 7 minutes walking from the house. The nearest supermarket is not very close walking but 7 minutes by cycle. But I think this is a "problem" of Oldenburg itself, because there are not many supermarkets (or food shops) inside the city, compared to other cities. Another advise for this supermarket is to prepare cash, because they don't admit the usual visa card or MasterCard (it is the only place I found in Oldenburg with this problem) The city is really pretty. both the centrum and the parks.

Situated in a very nice and quiet neighbourhood within walking distance from the centre of Oldenburg,this accommodation is much more spacious than shown on the internet.It is fully equipped,very light and clean with a large garden.Since Oldenburg is a great place for cycling 2 bicycles are at your disposal as well. Contact with our host was very punctual and correct,all necessary info was readily available! This is a great place to stay!
