Property Description

Important preliminary notes:

0 – First occupancy after renovation: Since the apartment is being completely renovated these days, the interior photos (i.e. of the apartment) shown in the listing are partially sample photos from other renovated apartments.

1 – For those interested in sharing a flat (WG), please note that although the bathroom is accessible via the hallway, the kitchen is not.

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

3 – Please understand that we cannot respond to every inquiry. It’s not that we are rude – we simply do not have the time.

For water enthusiasts & sun worshipers, amateur grillers & leisure athletes, as well as for those who appreciate the feeling of being able to retreat from the urban hustle even while living in the heart of the big city:

The apartment is located in the sought-after Hamburg district of Barmbek-Süd, at the end of the Eilbek Canal. About 80 m away (a 1-minute walk) you can launch your SUP board or canoe and paddle down to the Alster. A direct walk along the beautiful shores to the Außenalster takes about 25 minutes.

Less than 300 meters away (a 3-minute walk) the Friedrichsberg Park offers opportunities for jogging and walking year-round.

The immediately surrounding residential area exudes a charming, village-like idyl, imparting a sense of calm and relaxation – enhanced by the presence of the Versöhnungskirche (Reconciliation Church) right on the canal, whose tower is reflected in the water.

The green spaces right outside the door invite you in summer for sports and games, relaxing and sunbathing – and of course for barbecuing. The steak for the grill can be picked up at Aldi or Rewe at Holsteinischer Kamp, only about 400 m away (a 5-minute walk).

For those who neither want to grill nor cook: Restaurants serving delicious food (Greek, Italian, Asian, etc.) can be found within a maximum 8 – 12 minute walk – as well as 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 accessible on foot.

If you don’t want to walk or cycle into the city (main train station), the U-Bahn will take you there in about 8 minutes – and you are equally well connected to the city via various bus lines.

The building is located on a quiet side street (there is a relatively good parking situation for central Hamburg), directly bordered by greenery and water. Within walking distance, you will find all the possible options for relaxation, leisure activities, and supply of goods as described above.
