Family-friendly holiday rentals in Essen

Cozy studio

The studio is located in the attic of our house in the south of the city of Mülheim an der Ruhr, in the district of Holthausen/Raadt. The quiet location right by the conservation area does not exclude a very good transport connection. Public transport to the city center and the main train station can be reached in a few minutes on foot. By car, you can reach the A52 in 3 minutes. Essen trade fair: about 10 minutes; Düsseldorf trade fair: about 30 minutes Düsseldorf Airport: about 20 minutes; CentrO: about 25 minutes (each by car)

Vacation feeling on the green edge of the Ruhr area

Die 60 m² große Ferienwohnung liegt zentral und dennoch im Grünen im beliebten Heisingen. Dank separatem Eingang und Check-in gestaltest du deinen Aufenthalt unabhängig und genießt die persönliche Atmosphäre unseres Zuhauses statt eines Hotelzimmers. Wir mögen den ursprünglichen Airbnb-Gedanken: Menschen willkommen zu heißen in unserem Zuhause mit Persönlichkeit und Geschichte. Bei Fragen sind wir gerne da und respektieren selbstverständlich deine Privatsphäre. Fühl dich herzlich willkommen.

I live here most of the time myself and love my home. All things are of very high quality and should be treated well.
