Lovely house in a great city

Welcome to our house in a very green and quiet part of Düsseldorf. It consists of our flat on two levels and a separate flat with its own entrance on the second floor, where a friend lives.
Our flat has on the first floor a guest room and as second bedroom a study with a comfortable sofa bed, a bath and an additional toilet. There are a TV with DVD's, many books about Düsseldorf and the region as well as novels, in English too, in the guest room. The large living room with a dining area, the small kitchen with everything you need and a toilet are on the ground floor. We have photovoltaic panels on the roof and heating by a heat pump.
You can relax in our small garden that is sunny and beautiful with a lot of flowers in summer. There are many birds and sometimes red squirrels or (in dusk) bats who live in the park of Benrath palace. In the cellar you will find two bicycles for trips to lakes near Benrath or the medieval town of Zons on the other side of the Rhine.

About the location

We live in Urdenbach/Benrath, a quiet southern suburb of Düsseldorf, 200 m from the River Rhine. A park and a nature reserve (Urdenbacher Kämpe), shops and restaurants are nearby - baker in Urdenbach 10 minutes, lots of shops in Benrath 20 minutes walk. Benrath is a large suburb and you can get there everything you want. Restaurants are from 10 to 20 minutes walk here in Urdenbach or Benrath and a lot more in Düsseldorf centre. This means 30 minutes by car or a bit more by bus/train - public transport is good with busses, tram and train from Benrath station.

Düsseldorf is a very green city, well known for science, business, fashion and culture. There are nice promenades along the Rhine and the centre as well as the media harbour have some interesting architecture. Many museums, galleries, theatres and an opera house are waiting for you. Walks are possible from the doorstep of our house to the park of Benrath Palace or a nature reserve near the River Rhine. There are lots of possibilities for cycling tours in the surrounding forests or for swimming in the lake ‚Unterbacher See’. Düsseldorf has many parks and forests and your can go by ship on the Rhine to Cologne, Duisburg with its large harbour or to Dutch cities. With the car you can reach a lot of sights along the Rhine and Moselle or more mountainous regions like Eifel and Sauerland. There are regular trains to Cologne with the famous cathedral and the Ruhr with its well known industrial heritage (collieries, steel industry) as well as to Amsterdam, Luxembourg, Brussels and Paris.
