Cozy studio
The studio is located in the attic of our house in the south of the city of Mülheim an der Ruhr, in the district of Holthausen/Raadt. The quiet location right by the conservation area does not exclude a very good transport connection. Public transport to the city center and the main train station can be reached in a few minutes on foot. By car, you can reach the A52 in 3 minutes. Essen trade fair: about 10 minutes; Düsseldorf trade fair: about 30 minutes Düsseldorf Airport: about 20 minutes; CentrO: about 25 minutes (each by car)

Science meets Hereos @CordisSky
The absolute highlight, in addition to the quiet and central location, is our stylish furnishings, which are themed around the scientists and heroes of the city of Essen. In this apartment, which we have renovated to a high standard, you can expect a unique experience about the hidden heroes of the city with 2 beds and space for 4 people. No matter whether you are in the city on business or exploring Essen as a tourist - our apartment offers the perfect starting point for all your activities!

Top location - Top amenities
It is a beautiful apartment in the middle of the girls' quarter (Seitenstrasse). Restaurants, supermarkets, etc. are a few minutes' walk away. It doesn't get any more central than this. Local transport, highway and city center are also within easy reach. Free parking is available in front of the door. The apartment is perfectly equipped and nothing is missing. I live here most of the time myself and love my home. All things are of very high quality and should be treated well.
