Townhouse in the centre of Mannheim
Small, approx. 100 year old town house (ca 150 sqm) in the centre of Mannheim, very close to Marktplatz, Planken, Mannheim University and Popakademie, well connected with public transport and ca 20 min walking to Mannheim main station.
The sunny, friendly house is situated in the backyard of a bigger complex, has a large rooftop terrace, two bedrooms each with en-suite bathroom (one with a Japanese bath tub), big kitchen and living area and a study, distributed on 3 floors.
Ground floor:
Bedroom: one big double bed, closed space.
Bathroom: shower and bathtub, WC in separate room.
1st floor:
Open kitchen and living room; can be closed with floor-to-ceiling glas doors.
2nd floor:
large open space with two single beds, plus possibility to put a futon. If you prefer a sofabed instead of a futon you can sleep on the sofabed in the living room.
Bathroom: WC and shower.
Besides the central heating there are two wood fired stoves in the living area 1st floor and the study on 2nd for a cosy atmosphere in winter.
Whether you are a musician, a scientist, a student, want to visit relatives or whatever reason brings you here, you will find a fully equipped house and kitchen (we love to cook!) with everything you need to feel at home. One of the few things we don`t have though is a TV.
The house is not suited for children under the age of 8 because of dangers from open railings.

And it was here, where Carl Benz invented the car...
