Our barn is from 1860. It has been restored 2018. It has a beautiful architecture from the outside.  The interior is modern with a lot of art works. There is a fire place in the living room. The barn is in itself eternally modern. The contrast of the white walls and the wood is absolutely stunning. It is like a cottage in the city. We have public transportation around the corner which will take you within 30 min. to the central station, museums, airport, etc. By car it will only be 15 min. to downtown. There a several wonderful restaurants close by. Cologne is 1,5 hours from Brussels and 3,5 hours from Paris by the train Thalys. Perfect location to do some trips from around here. Cologne is famous for the cathedral spires tower over Germany's oldest city and its innumerable cultural and historical treasures, world-famous museums and active art scene. Take a trip through 2000 years of history and visit cultural monuments from the Roman Empire to modern times. Also, Cologne is an art and culture metropolis of international renown: 42 museums, such as the Museum Ludwig, which houses the biggest pop art collection outside the USA, the new cultural Quarter at Neumarkt and 120 galleries with the widest variety of collections from all eras bear witness to Cologne's reputation as a centre for art and culture. Cologne also has an extremely animated theatre scene.

Old  barn in the city of Cologne

Our house was built in 1970 and we bought and renovated it 6 years ago. We try  to get it modern and light-flooded with a mix of old and modern furniture. We have three floors. The basement is the parent area with sleeping / living room and fireplace, as well as bathroom and separated toilet. Also here is the laundry room, study and shoe room. 
On the ground floor is the family center with kitchen and large table. Here is also still at the entrance the wardrobe and the guest toilet. A small study with television serves as a retreat. On the first floor is the children's area. There are 4 rooms with 6 single beds (one loft and one to take off). The children have a bathroom with toilet, shower and bath and another small toilet extra. From two rooms you can enter the balcony and has a beautiful view over the rooftops Ingelheim. In spring we are planning to rebuild the terrace on the ground floor to a cold winter garden. The plot is 700 square meters and the garden is facing southwest, so it is always nice and warm. My favorite place is the wooden terrace with a divan bed ... in summer we have a small pool for the children, which is exchanged in the fall with a trampoline.

It consists of two bedrooms: a master bedroom with a double, king-size bed (and an additional single bed available), and a spare bedroom with a convertible daybed, that can sleep comfortably 2 people. We also have 2 full bathrooms, a spacious living room (sleeps an additional 1, if needed), a fully equipped kitchen, and a large, sunny, south-facing balcony. 

We love to live comfortably, so the apartment has all modern amenities: underfloor heating, fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, 56” LCD TV with Netflix, high-speed WIFI internet, private underground parking, allergen-free bedding, to name a few. Weekly cleaning service is optional.

Our apartment is in a very central location (1 tram stop or 5 mins walk from Mannheim Central Train station), in the genteel, peaceful neighbourhood of Lindenhof. Two large supermarkets are 5-mins walk away, as well as an excellent bakery and a dreamy ice-cream shop, not to mention numerous restaurants and cafes.

ABOUT THE REGION:
Mannheim has an amazing location in south-west Germany and exceptional connections. We are 30 minutes from bustling Frankfurt, 20 minutes from romantic Heidelberg, or a quick ride from the beautiful wine region of Rhine valley. Our region borders France, so Paris is just a quick 3-hour train away – perfect for a quick hop, for a day or two.
The closest airport is Frankfurt, a quick 30 mins by direct train. Departures are approximately every hour and are 24/7, so it does not matter what time you land at the airport, you will still be able to get to the apartment easily.

Beautiful Villa at the Rhine

The house is a more than 200 year old frame house (Fachwerkhaus), very nested, with visible beams and low as well as high ceilings. On the ground floor there’s the hall, living room, dining room, kitchen and access to the garden. Four steps up you’ll reach the first childrens room (daybed for 2/1,60x2m), the guest bathroom (WC) and the utility room (washer, dryer). 6 more steps up there’s the second childrens room (2 levels, 2 mattresses 1x2 m each downstairs, with room for more mattresses upstairs) and the main bathroom (WC, shower, bathtub, 2 basins). Finally another 5 steps up there’s the office (with room for matresses but no lockable door) and the master bedroom (double bed/1,8x2m).

From the terrace you’ll reach a large garden with old trees, totally secluded from the neighbors and the street. The terrace is roofed so you can sit outside, barbecue and enjoy the outside fireplace even when it is raining.
In the garden at the side of the house there's a jungle gym with swings, a slide, a sandpit and stuff to climb on.  

The house has three fireplaces: one outside on the terrace, one inside in the living room and one oven in the hall which can be used to heat the whole house in the winter (conventional heating is also available, of course).

Our home is completely safe for small children. It is fully equipped with everything your toddler/kid may need to sleep, eat and play. We can provide a baby travel bed, if necessary. 

Since there is a couch in the living room which can be turned into a comfortable bed for two (1,6x2 m) the whole house has sleeping facilities for 7-9 people in 4 rooms (2 beds, 1 sofa and lots of matresses).
