My home is a comfortable, quiet, and well-maintained apartment in Cologne, perfect for both a city break and remote work. The neighborhood is safe, with shops, cafes, and public transport just minutes away.
The apartment has a studio-style bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and a pleasant terrace to make you feel right at home. There's also a communal garden (which I practically only use hehe). It has a dedicated workspace with a desk and comfortable chair, and the Wi-Fi is fast and stable.
The neighborhood is local and authentic, with supermarkets, restaurants, and parks nearby, and it's very well connected to the city center. In just a few minutes, you can reach the Cathedral, museums, the Rhine, or any other interesting area of Cologne.
