Old town and yet quiet, castle view, tasteful, a dream

The apartment is on 2 floors (2nd floor and attic). Both floors are furnished with taste and high quality. The castle view makes this apartment truly unique. You can enjoy it from the dining area, from the balcony, from both bathrooms, from bedroom 1 and from the studio in the attic. This is rare to find in Heidelberg.

The two tastefully designed bathrooms offer heated floors and extensive equipment: WC, bidet, large shower, large sink with mirror.

In the apartment there is an intelligent HEPA UV air purifier, aircleaner according to the studies of RKI and WHO this helps against corona viruses, filters dust, odors, allergens, microorganisms and chemical substances.

Included in the rental price is the use of high-speed internet, towels, bed linens and tea towels. A small selection of coffee pods (Tassimo) is provided to get you started.

The history of the house, which today offers 4 holiday apartments, dates back to the 15th century. At that time, it served as the house of the forester of the castle. The house is located in the center of the old town in the immediate vicinity of the Heiliggeistkirche, the town hall and market square and on the outer edge of the pedestrian area. It thus offers all the advantages of the city center with regard to tourist destinations, restaurants and other activities. Since the apartment is located in a quiet side street, it is wonderfully quiet.

The house and apartments were completely renovated from 2012 to 2014 and connected to district heating in March 2014. Today the house combines historic walls with 21st century amenitites. The apartments are furnished in a tasteful and modern style and fully equipped.

Location:

In the historic old town of Heidelberg, in a side street to the pedestrian zone (main street). To the mountain railroad, which goes to the Heidelberg Castle, as well as to the next bus stop it is 1-2 minutes by foot. Here you will also find the nearest parking garage. (Information about the parking garage) The nearest highway exit is only 10 minutes away by car and the train station is only 5 minutes away by bus or cab. You can also walk to the castle in about 15 minutes (very nice path). In the immediate vicinity you will find the Heidelberg City Hall, the Heiliggeistkirche, many restaurants, cinemas and stores. A grocery store and bakery are within 2 minutes walking distance. In a few minutes you are at the old university, several museums, the Neckar river with excursion possibilites to the Neckar valley and many other attractions.

Visits to Speyer or Schwetzingen are possible within 20-30 minutes driving time and are worthwhile.

Fantastic stay.
A fantastic stay- great location, beautiful units, modern amenities. Attended a sports camp in the area, and was able to get to all the transit options available with ease, and was positioned to enjoy the Old Town of Heidelberg perfectly.

Clean and great location!
We rented this beautiful apartment in the centre of Heidelberg Altstadt to host my family during a destination wedding. Everything about our stay was wonderful, and I highly recommend this booking or anyone who is looking for a relaxing retreat while still being only steps away from marktplatz. The apartment was on the 3rd and 4th floor, and it offered a full kitchen with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The balcony offered stunning views of Heidelberg Palace and was a great place to relax when you just needed to get a bit of peace and quiet.

Absolutely magic
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Himmelreich apartment in Heidelberg City Center, the location was incredible with the Heidelberg Schloss just steps from the doorway and an abundance of amazing restaurants and shopping. The apartment was modern and well appointed with all the amenities our family needed for a comfortable extended stay. There is an incredible view of the Castle from apartment which we truly enjoyed. The owners were readily available and very helpful with check in and check out. We will definitely be back!

Amazing VRBO experience!
I cannot overstate how much we enjoyed staying at this property. Everything was well documented for our arrival, the host was very communicative, the place was clean and huge! Our kids loved it, the kitchen had everything we needed, the balcony was awesome with a view of the castle, the neighborhood was so quaint, and the location to everything you need was perfect! You are a mere 1 min walk to a bus stop, and the Bergbahn to travel up the mountain to the castle. A 1 min walk the other direction puts you on the Main Street where you can buy food, eat out, go shopping, etc. I don’t think it gets better, honestly.

Wonderful property and location
We loved staying at this updated and extremely clean apartment. It is wonderfully located in the old town of Heidelberg near the Hauptstrasse and just a funicular ride up to the Castle. The beds were comfortable, and with two bedrooms and a bath located downstairs (along with the kitchen and living room) and a bedroom and bath plus a sitting room upstairs, we, two couples, had the space and privacy we needed. The deck is wonderful and offers exceptional views of the Castle, as do three other spaces in the apartment. The apartment is located on the third floor, so there are steps to climb. We are in our 70s and considered them our exercise for the day. I would definitely enjoy staying here again!

Sehr sauber, modern eingerichtet, gute Lage
Die Wohnung ist sehr, sehr sauber (sogar der Spülschwamm und der Spüllappen waren offensichtlich neu und ungebraucht). Die Einrichtung ist - trotz Altbau - sehr modern; zwei Fernseher, WLAN, Licht dimmbar, viele Steckdosen, Klimaanlage in der oberen Wohnung. Beide Bäder sind gut ausgestattet und alles andere als eng. Eine leicht beschädigte Sitzbank auf dem Balkon wurde - ohne dass wir darauf hingewiesen haben - ausgetauscht. Auch das zeigt, wie sehr die Vermieterin Wert drauf legt, dass die Wohnung und die Einrichtung in ordentlichem Zustand sind. Die Fußgängerzone ist in unmittelbarer Nähe. Bäcker ganz in der Nähe ("Gundel" sowie "Zeit für Brot"). Ein sehr kleiner Lebensmittelladen (für die Größe ist das Angebot aber vergleichsweise groß) ist gleich um die Ecke. Rewe, Aldi, Kaufland usw. sind in der Nähe Bismarckplatz (gut einen Kilometer entfernt) zu finden. Mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln kommt man flott überall hin. Mit dem Auto ist es schwieriger: Zum Be- und entladen kann man das Auto kurz abstellen: von der Zwingerstraße aus rückwärts in die Apothekerstraße einfahren und schnell aus-/einladen. Parkmöglichkeiten in der Nähe sind recht teuer. Einen kostenlosen Parkplatz gibt es beim Messplatz. Check-in zeitlich flexibel und problemlos. Anregung für die Vermieterin: Eine Jalousie am Fenster beim Esstisch wäre gut: Wenn die Sonne über dem Schloss aufgeht, kann sie beim Frühstück schon ein bisschen lästig werden. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit!

Wonderful apartment in beautiful Heidelberg
The apartment was exactly as described - extremely well-equipped and spotlessly prepared. The location is excellent - only a few paces from Heidelberg's main street. All shopping needs are catered for nearby (we thoroughly recommend the bakery Zeit Fur Brot!). A boat trip on the Neckar, a visit to the wonderful Heidelberg castle (visible from the apartment), a walk on Philosophers' Way and a lovely organ concert in the Church of the Holy Spirit were highlights of our stay. Thanks to Martina, the apartment owner, for her excellent communication. We thoroughly recommend a stay here.

Perfect Location
The castle views are wonderful and the apartment location is equally phenomenal. The apartment is spacious, clean and quiet. Numerous shops and restaurants are surprisingly close and just a few steps away. The apartment had plenty of space for our family of 6, and in the July heat, the air conditioned attic level was a blessing. When we had questions, the owner responded very quickly and positively. We would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect Apartment for my family’s holiday.
We could not have asked for a better apartment for our vacation. The location is fantastic and only a block from the main street with all of the shops and restaurants. You have a view of the castle from the window and balcony. The apartment was clean and exactly as described. The property manager was fantastic and quickly responded when my teenage son locked all the keys in the apartment by mistake. Highly recommend.

Die Wohnung war sehr schön eingerichtet, alles war sauber und in den Betten haben wir sehr gut geschlafen. Das einzige was fehlte waren zwei zusätzliche Stühle auf dem Balkon, da wir zu sechst in der Wohnung waren. Aber das ist aus Platzmangel vlt auch schwierig. Die Wohnung liegt wunderbar zentral. Es hat uns gefallen und wir würden wiederkommen.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft
Groß genug für uns sechs, geschmackvoll eingerichtet, mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Die Klimaanlage - es waren heiße Tage - haben wir erst spät entdeckt (die anderen hatten die Mappe mit den Hinweisen zur Wohnung), aber auch gut - war besser für den Energieverbrauch. ÖPNV um die Ecke, und bei der Lage (!!) Einkaufs- und Einkehrmöglichkeiten ohne Ende. Fazit: eine gute Wahl.

Great host
The apartment is great. Location is perfect for walking to main Heidelberg attractions like the castle, bridge, old town markets, etc. The host was kind enough to help us get packages delivered before Christmas, which we really appreciated. The only cautionary item for those considering booking is that there are a lot of narrow staircases to maneuver in order to access the apartment. So if you have large bags or are in any way unable to climb many floors, it may not be ideal for you. Otherwise, it is perfect!

We had a wonderful stay at the Heidelberg House. Such a rare find for a spacious three bedroom apartment this close to Altstadt. It was perfect for our three generation family of six, including teens, adults, and seniors. Martina was very helpful in answering our questions and helping us out.
