Top location - Top amenities
It is a beautiful apartment in the middle of the girls' quarter (Seitenstrasse). Restaurants, supermarkets, etc. are a few minutes' walk away. It doesn't get any more central than this. Local transport, highway and city center are also within easy reach. Free parking is available in front of the door. The apartment is perfectly equipped and nothing is missing. I live here most of the time myself and love my home. All things are of very high quality and should be treated well.

Apartment Alfred
Willkommen in deiner stilvollen, gemütlichen Wohnung im Herzen von Rüttenscheid! Top Lage - nur eine Minute zu Fuß zur beliebten "Rü" mit ihren vielen Cafés, Bars und Restaurants. Auch die Messe Essen, das Klinikum und der Hauptbahnhof sind schnell erreicht (ca. 1,5km entfernt). Die Wohnung ist voll ausgestattet: ein bequemes Kingsize Bett, einen eigenen Netflix-Account, ein großzügiges Wohnzimmer mit Essbereich und einen Balkon mit Blick in den Garten. Perfekt zum Entspannen!

Quiet guest room - private entrance, private bathroom
We rent our small guest room (... it is ONE room, even if Airbnb lists the living room and bedroom separately in the pictures) with private bathroom and entrance. The room has a bed 80 x 200 cm, which can be quickly widened to 160 x 200 cm. The room is "only" about 13 square meters (plus bathroom), but otherwise has everything you need for a short stay: a closet, 2 chairs, a table, fridge, the possibility to make coffee and tea... cups, plates, cutlery ...

Vacation feeling on the green edge of the Ruhr area
The 60 m² holiday apartment is centrally located but still in a green area in popular Heisingen. Thanks to a separate entrance and check-in, you can organise your stay independently and enjoy the personal atmosphere of our home instead of a hotel room. We like the original Airbnb idea: welcoming people into our home with personality and history. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and, of course, respect your privacy. You are very welcome.

Apartment in the countryside near the city
In our house in a small cul-de-sac (insofar as the address "Hauptstrasse" is misleading), we rent a closed 2-room apartment (sleeping/living area) on the first floor with a small kitchen and bathroom. The location is ideal for tourists, business people and trade fair visitors. Since 08/01/2025, the city of Essen has levied an accommodation tax of 5% and a maximum of €9 per night. This is included in the nightly rate.
