Amazing Apartment
A true gem - an historic home right in the city center. We felt like long time residents. Everything was close, market, restaurants, shops. Rob and Sara are wonderful, and very attentive to the details of our stay. We can't wait to go back.

A special place in Bern
We loved our ten-days-stay in this beautiful apartment that quickly felt like home for us! The location is unbeatable, close to the central station, in the middle of old town, Bärengraben, Zytglogge, theatre, … all within walking distance. And living in the old rooms feels like time travelling. Sara and Rob have been super friendly and the perfect hosts!

Host profile image
I am a Canadian born Swiss citizen and fourth generation to live in my family owned 500+ year old house in Bern's Altstadt. I live with my husband, Rob and our two kids on the fourth floor of the building. The rental apartment is located on the second floor so we are never far away should you need any help. We love meeting new people and sharing the beautiful city of Bern. We have been operating Bern City Rentals for 5 years

The LOCATION is absolutely amazing! We are right in the heart of the medievel old town of Bern. Our building is surrounded by restaurants, shops, museums. We host the twice weekly farmer's market in front of our building. Steps to transit and with your Bern Visitor Tax, transit is included!

What makes this property unique

Unique location in the heart of the old city close to everything you'll want to do and see like restaurants, museums, the river Aare, the Bundeshaus parliament buildnigs, the Zytglogge, the Bear Park and so much more!
