Home Away from Home for Family
We spent 10 days here over Thanksgiving for a family vacation with our two boys, ages 15 and 10. The home is in a lovely quiet town with virtually no street traffic noise. Tucked within a sort of cul-de-sac, we felt complete privacy as we came and went for day trips around the Alsace region. Mittelwihr is the perfect home base to explore areas as far north as the Maginot line and as far south as Basel, easily, within a day by car. Philippe and Isabelle were very kind and accommodating, especially when a local technical issue cut out the internet service to the unit. Within hours they were working hard to remedy the problem and went out of their way to provide a temporary solution, which was definitely above and beyond. The unit was sparking clean and had everything we needed for a stay, including quality bedding (although the mattresses were firm for our tastes), kitchen equipment, and even a washer. As an American, I would have appreciated a clothes dryer for the winter months, but they provided two large drying racks for me to hang clothing, which was very helpful. I personally loved all the lighting options within the apartment, enabling a cozy feel on dark winter days. Many rentals have sparse, cold lighting. I also appreciated that the unit was furnished and decorated to a high standard that made it feel like a home, rather than a hotel space. The window shutters blacked out the bedrooms perfectly and the seating was comfortable. Very fairly priced and lovely rental!
