This lovely place is on the northeast edge of German Village. There are a couple of restaurants nearby, but the main action is to the south. We LOVED walking the neighborhood and admired the historic houses. The homes of the GV are well maintained and most have additions and lovely landscaping. We walked several miles each day exploring. We spoke to lots of locals, all of whom were friendly and helpful.
This apartment is on the second floor of a detached house. There is one parking space in the rear dedicated to the apartment. The on street parking is free, but not always available.
It was surprisingly quiet inside despite being in a dense neighborhood. We didn’t cook, but the kitchen was stocked well. The bathroom is updated. The beds are comfortable. Plenty of hot water. Those are important ones for me!
There were many amenities that would come in handy for a longer stay. Example: The washer and dryer were efficiently recessed in the hallway. The closets are large and there were plenty of towels and TP.
Benjamin responded quickly to our messages and had a welcoming attitude in all conversations.

A word of caution for those with mobility issues. The sidewalks and streets are frequently uneven, made of old bricks. The area is historic, so many ADA features/ramps/wide openings are not present. Parking is scarce. Use Uber if walking on uneven terrain is dangerous. The land is generally flat (no steep hills).
