Very nice apartment with beautiful wood accents. Nicely furnished kitchen. The location is great for walking around the old town of Bamberg. The owner is very nice..
This apartment is on a very busy road. I was perplexed when we arrived at why there were earplugs on each of our nightstands until the first night when I realized the cars come up the road right out the bedroom window with tires that make a lot of noise on cobblestones and headlights that shine directly in the window. Thankfully, I had a sleep mask with me and that helped a lot. It was very noisy and Sandstrasse is a busy and lively street. So if you’re looking for someplace quiet, this would not be the place. Also if you are someone used to nice towels and wash cloths you should bring your own. We always bring a washcloth because we use those and they don’t use those in Germany very many places. The towels were thin. Also, our towel, warmer and floor heater did not work most of the time we were there. The owner is very nice, but we would not stay here again because of the noise factor.

1) The apartment is relatively central to the old town. So you can walk to almost all sights.
2) It is spacious and quiet.
3) The bathroom is modern and heated.
4) All kitchen equipment is in top condition.
5) The hosts were kind enough to let us in even before normal check-in time.
1) It was freezing cold outside but, as the apartment wasn't already rented, the heating was off. The heating of the apartment is less than satisfactory. It took 2 days of constant heating for the apartment to be heated properly.
2) I saw some spider webs here and there. Nothing too extreme but it would be better if they were not there.
3) I would have liked easier parking. It's very difficult to find a parking spot around the apartment where you can leave the car for hours, while strolling through the city. We had to rely on parking garages, 5-10 minutes on foot from the apartment.
4) I could have been a bit cheaper for what it offers.

We liked the originality of the accommodation. The owner made everything in wood and it was exceptional. Even a sauna in our room. He met us and told us the history of the building, age, etc. Everythjng was clean and perfect. I would highly recommend this accommodation.
The only thing we didn't like was having to leave one day earlier due to a train strike.

Great location - so close to the centre so very easy to walk everywhere.
Lovely restored apartment, the woodwork is amazing.
Comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen.
Was (a few times) a little noisy given cobbled street with traffic outside our ground floor apartment.
Would have been nice to have a sofa/comfy chairs but I'm being picky, we would definitely stay here again.

The flat is at the heart of the old town and is at the historic building (the floor and stairs in the staircase are a couple of centuries old, I suppose). It’s spacious enough and comfortable for a family of 4. Kitchen is well equipped. Very close to the cathedral (Dom) and Altes Rathaus, near the river.
It’s quite noisy from an early morning (traffic), but the earplugs are provided at the nightstands:)
Two sets of linen were missing (there were 2 for the 4 people) but fortunately we found a cabinet in the corridor where the spare ones were stored;)

Great location near the center of the Altstadt, so you are certainly in the middle of Bamberg life and energy. Lots of students in this city, so has a young vibe - and lots of older visitors:) Excellent refurbished apartment, well equipped and spacious; good bathroom; good bed. Bedroom windows need blinds or darker curtains.
When we arrived we wondered why there were packs of ear plugs on the bedside tables .... we found out that night: street noise from revellers (especially on weekends) is incredible. And it continues till around 1:30am. The noise was the main negative to what was otherwise a wonderful stay in lovely Bamberg. Another somewhat unsatisfactory requirement is the method of payment - only by direct bank deposit prior to the stay.

Location!
It was loud outside, but the host left earplugs. So, location was excellent, but then there is noise if you leave the windows open. Can't always have everything.

The property was very clean and the host responded quickly to all inquiries. The location is within walking distance to the city, but I can not recommend staying here in the summer when the windows would be open. It is a very busy street corner and it was loud even with the windows closed.
The flats are aesthetically pretty, but they are not at all warm and cozy in the least. It is a very, very basic apartment in a beautifully refurbished half-timber house, with extremely minimal furnishings. The refurbished house makes it special. Not the apartments. Not the owners. If you love architecture, it may be a great place to stay for a night. If you are celebrating with friends and/or family, there are better options. A few details:
The pillows are terrible. Every person in our group woke up with neck and back pain from the pillows.
I was shocked to arrive at a place of this caliber and have to make my own bed. This is what I expect from a youth hostel---not a holiday flat of this cost.
In the second unit we rented, there was a living room with a small sofa, along with 3 bar stools facing a wall-mounted mini "table." For an apartment accommodating four to six people, there was nowhere to sit and eat a meal. Also, one of the bedroom doors is half-glass without any type of curtain. Those who stay in that bedroom have zero privacy. And the people from the other bedroom must walk by the exposed bedroom door simply to get to the bathroom.
The owner addressed me as HERR in every single piece of communication, although I wrote FRAU on every correspondence. When we arrived, there was a yellow sticky note on the door---once again---HERR William. I guess women are not allowed to travel. ???
I wrote to ask if there would be any holiday decorations since we were visiting for Christmas. When I was told no, I asked if we could pay a little extra for this service, since we would arrive very late on the 23rd. We were told that we would have to do all of this ourselves. There seems to be no opportunity for additional support or extra service.

Beautiful property in a great location.
If you don't like old creaky buildings, this isn't the location for you.

Central Location. Very clean. Dishwasher. A well equipped kitchen and the Wifi was ok. Great bathroom. To unload luggage next to the house is easy.
We missed a sitting area. There as only a small kitchen table to sit at. No direct parking. Therefore one has to look for a parking garage.

Exceptional heritage building in the middle of the historic centre with spatious apartment including a sauna and retaining the old architectural elements.
Probably due to the characteristics of the building, soundproofing is practically nonexistent. The beer festival right in front felt like it’s taking place in our room. A dining table would have been useful to allow five people to sit for breakfast.

a nice old property that has been sympathetically restored
It was a good location for the pubs and bars but this also meant it was noisy until the early hours
Thank you for your information!
