The apartment was fantastic, large (45m2), with everything except a microwave. It is called Il Cubo after the cube inside the apartment that houses the bathroom and the kitchen at the back. The ground floor apartment is set in lovely grounds with a great outdoor area to enjoy the gardens. Our host was extremely helpful.

On-street parking in the residential neighborhood can be problematic, requiring a CHF15 per day parking permit. However, Angela was nice enough to let us park in a space on the property. That space, however, is not always available. If you're not used to the space limitation of Swiss parking spots, it may take a bit of practice to learn how to negotiate the manuver without scraping the car.

One of the reasons we choose Il Cubo was because it looked artistically unique, and we were not disappointed. The location is in a quiet residential neighborhood, but the backyard landscaping made it feel like a quiet personal hideaway. It is close to several good restaurants and a well-stocked convenience store at the nearby gas station. The nearby bus stop route takes you to the main train station in Bern, right on the edge of the old town. Il Cubo even provided us with a free bus voucher for the length of our stay. The location is also within a few minutes of the highway, which was convenient for day trips to Thun, Lauterbrunnen, Neuchatel, and Murten. Our host Angela was fantastic, stopping by each morning to see if we needed anything, taking care of all our needs, and she even did our laundry because the nearby laundromat we had planned to use was no longer self-service. She kept the fridge well-stocked, and there were all the kitchen necessities to enable us to cook and prepare some meals. The name Il Cubo apparently comes from the unique cubicle structure in the center of the apartment, which Angela’s husband designed and built. It contains all the necessary elements of a rental apartment into one central location. One side is the kitchen, the other is the bathroom and shower. One end is for multiple storage cabinets, shelves, and hangers, and the other end (I believe) contains the environmental appliances.

Nothing. Everything was just perfect!

The place is so beautiful and clean. I genuinely felt sad leaving the place. So well maintained and calm area. Very near the Bern station and old town

Everything was perfect.

In the middle of a wildly romantic garden, a modern cube is equipped with everything you need for a few days' stay. Comfortable, clean apartment with a warm and soft bed. With a large terrace where you can comfortably have breakfast. Quick check-in and check-out, with comprehensive information. I was even able to park in front of the bamboo forest. :) Free public transport during your stay. Thank you Angela for the hospitality.

Nothing we loved it

It was a large comfortable space with everything we needed and it was beautifully designed. We loved the garden and the fresh apples and grapes. Angela was delightful and helped us with our plans. The kitchen was well equipped. We also enjoyed the many extras Angela left us, drinks,chocolate and biscuits. We were also able to park our car on site.

The only issues for us were it not being completely blackout at night, and the pillows. I'm used to harder foam pillows rather than feather ones, but this is really just personal preference.

Angela was really helpful, welcoming, the apartment is lovely and quirky- the plums from the garden were delicious! We really enjoyed having morning coffee on the patio, and the stock of vegan treats she provided! Also the shower was excellent! Would love to come back and spend more time.
