Airbnb in Black Forest area, Ühlingen-Birkendorf, Germany

Name of Airbnb : Apartment - Wohnung @Black Forest
Host website : Schwarzwald Holiday
Room Type : Entire Home/Apartment 
Area : Ühlingen-Birkendorf, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Why did we choose this area ?
We wanted to stay in the Black Forest area, and my research indicated that I could do some walks in nearby Feldberg and Lake Schluchsee, and also visit Lenzkirch.
  • Communication with Sue has been easy before our trip. We messaged her via Airbnb the night before that we expected to arrive just after 2 pm and she was there to welcome us. 
  • She's a really warm and generous person and we felt at ease immediately.
  • We stayed on the first floor, with our own entrance and Sue's family is staying right on site on the ground floor, with an interconnecting door between us.
  • The apartment is spacious and we liked what she provides : her stainless steel pots and crockery, toaster, coffee maker, water heater jug, etc...things you'd use at home are there. She even places a service bell for us to ring her, but we never had to, cos she'd be looking out for us to see if we were alright. 
  • My wife wasn't feeling too well and we asked to turn on the heating. Sue never hesitated in any way and even asked us to use her kitchen fully. 
  • The house is located right on top of a hill, the view is wonderful and a wonderful place to be in the Black Forest. We walked around her neighbourhood at night after dinner to partake the fresh air. 
  • Generous in every way, she gave us her garden tomatoes, a bit of salad and her home made berries jam. She offered to buy us bread in the morning, which we declined, and helped us with our laundry. She provided info on where to go, to eat and the local supermarket. We didn't manage to do a lot as my wife was a bit sick. 
  • We visited Feldberg and Lake Schluchsee and found a good bakery and butcher in Tiengen. Sue gave us some parting biscuits the night before we left. 
  • As this was our first Airbnb experience in Germany, we are very happy to have Sue as our host. She's very passionate about her work and we shared tips on health exercises. We really enjoyed our short stay with Sue and Roland.
