    Violet was great communicating. Cute compact space. An unusual heat wave was occurred and a portable AC was waiting for us. Much appreciated.

    It feels "real". The old thick walls, the noises from the marketplace, the small cafes close by. To be in a place where people lived some 700+ years ago is very special.

    Violet, the host, is amazing and very welcoming with great communication throughout. As such access to the property was easy (despite our delayed arrival). The location is excellent and couldn't be more central with cafes, bars, gorgeous shops...

This apartment is located in the oldest building in the center of Basel, built in 1284. It has a great location in the heart of the old town. It may not be able to keep up with modern times, but it leaves a mark on our lives with its unique historical value and charm. Miniature exhibition: The Fastnacht Carnival, an important cultural event in Switzerland and Basel, as well as other regional historical maps and paintings. You are welcome to feel and respect him.
