i had a great stay in andreas apartment, the flat is great and is located in a very cool area.. with great restaurants and bars. Andreas was really so helpful ,he helped to find me two people to work with us at fair we had .. in fact all my friends staying in hotels wants to stay an andreas aprtment next time.. !
Was for 2 weeks, what can I say - he saved my life, that was my first business trip for such a long time, but I felt as if i went to my friends home for a few days! Flat screen wide TV with built in storage & films in English - just perfect, Shepherds - one of the best cocktail bar next door, train station Koln Sud - 5 min to go, 20 min to the city center. So - good location. wide bed, good location, perfect host.
Staying at Andreas's apartment was a real pleasure. Andreas was very helpful in finding us a free parking space so that we could leave the car and explore the city on foot. The apartment is very comfortable and ideally placed. The use of the expresso machine and fridge was a nice touch.
This is my second stay at Cologne HQ and it’s been equally pleasant as before. Andreas is a very friendly host and I can definitely recommend his apartment.
My stay in Cologne was real nice. the apartment was in a perfect location. it was on the top floor of the building and away from the noise on the street and the club at the corner. Andreas met me at the cafe across the street and was communicative by email the entire time.
The bed was very comfortable. Although the shower was part of the entire bathroom it was pretty easy to use and dried up pretty quick.
it was nice touch that there were some beers and water in the refrigerator... More »
Excellent stay. Top level, facing a park made for a quiet stay. Very clean room, and Andreas was a great host. There are plenty of restaurants in the neighborhood, the location is well connected with the Cologne public transport system.
Definitely 9/10
Equipped and cosy apartment.
Only 5-minute walking from Rudolfplatz, 10 from Neumarkt
Tram number 9 to Koelnmesse just on the corner.
Andy is a very nice and affable person.
Sans aucun doute 9/10

The apartment was clean and well kept - I really appreciated wifi, TV, free coffee + minibar. Andreas was in Copenhagen but he asked a friend to do the check in. She was very nice and helpful recommending some pubs and places to go in the neighbourhood.
It was perfect for my quick trip to Cologne. Thanks for the great stay, Andreas!
Whilst I didn’t have a chance to meet Andreas in person, he went to great lengths to make sure my stay was as pleasant as possible. His flat was clean and tidy and he even left a few beers for me in the fridge. Recommend!
Beautiful apartment, very clean and well-maintained, in a fantastic part of Cologne, and with ample different transport links. First rate accommodation!
Andy is a 5-star host, and his apartment is 5-star, too. Central in a cool student-area (I felt a little younger instantly!), light with a posh coffee maker, free WiFi and a stocked mini-bar (for you to consume). Try and match that!
The only slight negative is the bathroom, which - while functioning well - could use a lick of paint some time.
+ Beautiful view looking out from the window. Greens.
+ Next to a little park
+ Numerous travel options/routes
+ Spanking new
+ Modern: fast wifi, new flat screen monitor
+ Abundant cafes PLUS a fantastic spanish tapas restau. nearby (ask Andreas)
+ new double bed
+ clean
+ one or two local beers as part of the welcome pack ;),
- building looks a tad rundown (but the apartment unit itself has been renovated and looks great inside)
Andreas, sorry I couldn't review sooner due to... More »
If you're going to Cologne, stay here. I highly recommend here. The apartment is clean and quiet, and you can have your breakfast in the apartment, Andi prepared jam and honey for guests, just go choosing your bread in the supermarket, it's just a block away.
Andi is a really excellent host, ask him about things in Cologne, and you will know lots of information, such as nice traditional German dishes which I enjoyed a lot.
Couldn't have been better! We could only stay for one night, but it was so relaxing that we really wanted to prolong our visit. Loved the view, and the stocked mini-fridge was really a bonus. Thanks for everything!!
Our stay at Cologne HQ was just amazing. When we arrived Andi was already waiting for us in the flat, along with a stocked fridge :)
You'll find nice bars just two corners away, and can get easily to the city-center by tram.
If we ever get back to Cologne we will surely check if Andi's place is available.
Andi's apartment was clean and bright. The bed was very comfortable and the fancy coffee maker was a definite plus. Also, there's a great pizza place right across from the flat; this was great for late-night snacking. I would definitely recommend this apartment!
Well-appointed, well-furnished, quiet fourth floor apartment in a lively neighbourhood, with a pleasing view of the square, reliable and friendly hosts, and cool little gimmicks like the coffee machine. Walking distance from just about anywhere in Koln, a very fine city. What's not to like?
Great room in a very central location. Some nice touches (the Nespresso machine was very useful!) including a minibar and small kitchen, is a reason to come back.
Andi is super helpful and a really great host. Will definitely come back on my next trip.
The apartment was in a great location with close access to the U-bahn, if you wish to travel further afoot than the Innenstadt. Everything was perfect and worked great! We only stayed for 4 nights, but definitely felt like Andi's place was a home away from home. I'd definitely recommend it, if you are looking to explore Cologne and the Rhine.
Andi's place was in a good location, it was neat, clean and tidy. The wireless internet was great and the flatscreen tv was nice.
A few down sides for us were that we picked Andi's place because it had a kitchen, but the fridge broke just before we arrived and the kitchen utensils were limited. The shower head is not connected to the wall anymore, and we didn't find the bed very comfortable for 2 people.
Having said this, we found Andi and her friend Tatiana to be very helpful and... More »
Didn't get to meet Andi in person but she was very prompt in replying to messages. The apartment was very clean and comfortable with an amazing view of a church tower right out the window! I really enjoyed the location as well which was lively and central yet safe for travellers unfamiliar with the city.
Andi was not in town so I did not meet Andi. I met his friend (unfortunately forgot the name) but he was very kind and helpful. He was on time for our appointments.
The appartment is cosy and clean. The interior is funcional and the bed astonishingly comfortable. Yet the bath ist really small. I mean REALLY. The sorroundings provide the visitor with everything necessary (and more).
I really liked my stay and recommend this appartment for everyone in search for a central and clean place.
Andi's place is fantastic. A tidy studio with all the basics you need. We had so much fun in the neighborhood and the location is tops. The bed and sheets are very comfortable and Andi is very professional and easy to communicate with. We would stay at Andi's place again with no hesitation! Excellent value for the price!
Very good organisation with Andi (and Tatjana & friends) ;).
The wifi worked well for me, the bed is comfy (although a bit small for two persons but not too small), mini bar was well equipped and fresh towels were provided. Not to forget the ubercool double cassette players that also have a line-in ready for your mp3 player. If you happen to be there while it is -12° in the winter, do crank up the heaters when you arrive and you will be fine.
The appartement has a super location and yes... More »
Fantastic place. Our host was very accommodating with our change of plans due to flight delays, etc.. The apartment is a few train stops from the city center and is surrounded by grocery stores, boutiques, etc... I would stay again!
Andi's apartment in Koln was darling, simple, and a good value. We loved the rooftop deck with a nice view of the neighborhood church tower. The wifi was fast and always available. The bed is a double or small queen... fine for us but could be small for two large adults. The neighborhood has a great nightlife, many restaurants, and is off the usual tourist path. I would stay here again.
Die Organisation hat schnell und vor allem reibungslos geklappt, obwohl Andi nicht in Köln war. Seine Freundin Tatiana hat sich exzellent um uns gekümmert. Herzlichen Dank für die sehr gute Gastfreundschaft!!
Dennoch gibt es leider ein paar Mängel, die auch der sympathischste Gastgeber bei dem Preis nicht ausbügeln kann. Das Bad ist in einem desolaten Zustand. Die Farbe blättert von den in der Dusche übermalten Fliesen und unterhalb der Dusche befindet sich ein Loch, das an eine Baustelle... More »
Andi's place was very accessible and as described. He was very accommodating with my late arrival, and was always very communicative. For some reason, the internet in the apartment was quite slow for me, but again, Andi was very responsive, even putting me in touch with his neighbor for help. Otherwise, everything was great!
We never met since Andi was away traveling. I had a great time staying at her place. It's a bit hard to find inside the residential complex, but she has many friendly and enormously helpful neighbors who pointed me in the right direction. The apartment is super cozy (especially the winter garden!) and the neighborhood was hard to leave. There are many nice eateries and cafes within easy walking distance. Metro lines are also reasonably close. All in all, I would stay there again in a... More »
Just spent a week in what was a very comfortable and attractive apartment, and for a very reasonable price too. The host couldn't have been more helpful with recommnedations on local bars and restaurants, and even went the extra distance to find a local place that would help me organise some business cards that I had left at home before setting off for Shanghai. To make it somewhere I would definitely return to was the fact that it was located in a very nice part of town also, and just a... More »
Andi was out of town during our stay, but we were taken care of by his friends in a very professional manner. The apartment's location is ideal with a cozy rooftop deck, surrounded with lots of restaurants and supermarkets; then, only two minutes to the tram and ten minutes to the center of Cologne. The apartment itself needs some improvement: the WiFi kept disconnecting; the bathroom needs some tiles repaired; the showerhead had to be handheld because the wall mount was broken and there were...

Der Aufenthalt war angenehm, Georgia und Andi waren sehr hilfsbereit. Die Wohnung war sauber und ruhig, auch das Bett fand ich angenehm und konnte gut schlafen. Für Unternehmenslustige ist hier der richtige Ort, da es in der Umgebung unzählige Kneipen gibt und auch die U-Bahn in 5 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar ist.
Abstriche mache ich wegen des "Badezimmer".
Andi's place was small but cosy, with a fantastic view to the nearby church steeple. Was nice to wake up in the morning with the church bells ringing. Yes, the bathroom could be improved, but was fine for a few days. The apartment is simply furnished, with just the basics provided for.
Andi wasn't around during my stay, but had organised for a friend to hand-over and return the keys. All went well.
The apartment is not located right in the centre of town, but the location is convenient... More »
As previously mentioned, there are a lot of stairs to get to Andi's flat, but I expected that. It was some welcome exercise after eating out so much anyway; it was just hard the first day carrying all my bags up. The pictures are accurate and the view from the apartment is awesome. I love the view of the church tower and listening to the bells in the morning. The shower was functional, but needs some repair. The waste bin could also have been bigger :) It was tiny! Overall, great place, great... More »
Super helpful and nice guy. The place has no elevator and is on the fourth floor, which would have been good to know in advance. Also, WIFI was non-functioning. A neighbor allowed me to access his network. Very clean place, exactly as pictured. Issues with the bathroom, esp. shower, but it was functional. Andi is, by far, the nicest guy that I have rented from so far. And the place is centrally located to restaurants, U-Bahn, and other businesses.
I had a great time in Shanghai and certainly having a great HQ such as Andi's was helpful. The place is like your home apt, clean, spacious and welcoming. The neighbourhood is super convenient and close to the most alternative bars and clubs of Shanghai (Dada, Logo, Shelter...)
Although I did not meet Andi in person, I had all the info and help needed to enjoy the most out of my stay. I'll definitely come back to Shanghai and consider staying there again.
Staying in Andi's Cologne flat was great. The flat itself was extremely pleasant, and had a fantastic location (especially since I needed to spend time at the University, which was just a ten minute walk away). We really enjoyed the time we spent in the apartment, since it had such big windows and felt very spacious. The bed was comfy, linens were included, it had a lovely sun-deck, and the kitchen was everything we needed for the week (although we did eat out most of the time). The only... More »
Andi is a great host and his flat in Koln is clean and comfortable and located in a great part of town. He went out of his way to meet me late and was really laid back and easy to get a hold of. I was walking distance to all the sites and cool art museums and had a great weekend unwinding.
Thanks Andi!
Great location, cute space. Comfortable bed. The bathroom isn't amazing, it's small without great air circulation, but it works. It was an easy pleasure to deal with Andi. Just one note: we arrived in the middle of the night and had a hard time finding the apartment-- so if you'll be arriving in the dark as well be sure to get super clear directions.
A clean, bright, comfortable, pleasant place to spend my second week in Köln. Andi confirmed my reservation right away, assisted in getting me a discounted train ticket to Frankfurt airport, and was pleasant and efficient in all her dealings with me. The stairs sound more daunting then they are: after a few times up and down, I quickly adjusted. Great location -a block away from internet cafe and 15 min. walk to Rudolph Platz, 20 to Neumarkt. Ubahn stations a stone's throw away.

The communication with Andi was perfect, quick and easy and there was no problem with arriving and getting settled. This is a nice little place in a great part of Cologne. Its the student area with great bars and restaurants and not touristy. The bathroom isn't great but you get by and the wi-fi connection is a bit poor. There's also a great vinyl collection here but no stereo to play it on!!
Overall we had a great time, no worries at all!! Thanks Andi!
Andi is awesome, the place is in a great spot, lots of cheap eating places around and in pub central! The apartment is neat and clean, bed comfortable. 82 steps up, but the exercise is good! Andi was helpful with everything you could want and more. I would definitely stay there again if in Cologne!
Lovely apartment in an excellent location. Close to hustle-bustles but nicely tucked away. Tianzifang is only a few minutes' walk. The glass-door atrium is a great place to hang out and have coffee. The host was attentive and gave great recommendations.
Andreas was our guest only for 1 night in one of our Rome apartments.
He is a very polite person who left the apartment in perfect conditions.
We hope to see him again :)
Andreas and Helen stayed at my apartment in Copenhagen and they were the kindest guests! Very nice in person and absolutely respectful to the place - I would welcome them back anytime!
I have known Andreas for 4 years and always remember being left with a first impression of a person who is easy-going, friendly, pays attention to detail, but most importantly a person of integrity. Over the years this positive impression has been reinforced many times. I am confident that Andreas is an excellent host providing accommodation of the highest standard and personalised service.
As far as I'm concerned, Andi is the hardest working man in real estate. He has a passion for excellence, which shows in the way he maintains his appartments, everything is of the highest quality.
His other strength is communication. Andi is always reachable and treats everyone with maximum respect. He will go out of his way to help you and doesn't let you down.
Andi's a great guy who's sharp, location-savvy and has great taste in boomboxes. Well-traveled and adventurous there's no doubt he's got great recommendations and a super home to really get the feeling of a city.
