Property Description

Important preliminary notes:

0 – In the next few days, we will send invitations to selected interested parties. Please also check your spam folder, as our emails have often ended up there in the past.

1 – For those interested in shared apartments, note that while the bathroom is accessible from the hallway, the kitchen is not – the kitchenette is integrated into the living room.

2 – Please include a detailed description of yourself (age, employment status, hobbies, pets, etc.) already in your first message.

3 – Please understand that we cannot respond to every inquiry. It isn’t meant to be rude – we simply don’t have the time.

For water enthusiasts & sun worshippers, hobby grillers & recreational athletes, as well as for people who appreciate the feeling of being able to withdraw from the hustle and bustle of the big city:

The apartment is located in the sought-after district of Barmbek-Süd, at the end of the Eilbek Canal. About 80 m away (a 1-minute walk) you can launch your SUP or canoe and paddle down to the Alster. On foot, it’s approximately a 25-minute walk along the picturesque banks to the Outer Alster.

Less than 300 meters away (a 3-minute walk), Friedrichsberger Park offers year-round opportunities for jogging and strolling.

A village-like, idyllic charm that radiates tranquility and serenity characterizes the immediate residential area, thanks to the presence of the Versöhnungskirche (Reconciliation Church) right on the canal, whose tower is reflected in the water.

The green spaces right at your door invite you in the summer for sports and play, for relaxing and sunbathing – and of course, for barbecuing. The steak for the barbecue can be found at Aldi or Rewe on Holsteinischer Kamp, just over 400 m away (a 5-minute walk).

For those who prefer neither grilling nor cooking: restaurants with delicious food (Greek, Italian, Asian, etc.) are within an 8–12 minute walk – as is the Hamburger Meile, Europe’s longest shopping center with over 140 stores where you can find everything you need for everyday life.

Recreational facilities (such as bowling, cinema, theater, fitness, etc.) are also within walking distance.

If you’d rather not walk or cycle to the city (main station), you can get there by subway in about 8 minutes – and the area is just as well connected by various bus lines.

The building is situated on a quiet side street (there is a relatively good parking situation for the Hamburg inner-city area), directly bordered by green spaces and water. Within walking distance, as described above, you will find every conceivable option for relaxation, leisure activities, and daily necessities.
