I so love this flat
This was my third trip Konstanz in five years. We started with a bike trip around the lake in October of 2014. The trip began and ended in Konstanz. Somewhere in there we fell in love with the place, so I wanted to come back again. Since I keep going back to Konstanz, I plan another country to visit first as well. This time it was Brussels, which is only a little over an hour away flight time. The owner was extremely accommodating with my arrival, and the flat is perfect for my/ (daughter in 30's, female partner in 40's, myself in my 50's) our needs. You can view the Rhine River (though I once saw it referred to as a lake?) from the high rising glass doors if the balcony proves too chilly for your liking (I went off season). This flat makes you feel like your more intertwined with a community rather than being in a vacation place. An amazing grocery store (EDEKA) is across the street as well as a MediaMarkt (for any electronic needs you may have forgotten). Holly's, a great place to eat/drink, is across from EDEKA. Keep going North from MediaMarkt you'll find a biergarten that had our favorite server, next to that a bakery with great products and coffee. I can't remember the name of the biergarten or the bakery (or our server) and it's not appearing on my Google Maps, but I'm telling you they are there and not to miss if you like bakeries and biergartens. :) I want to give a final shout out to Logan's Irish Pub which is East of the flat, the other direction from all previous mentioned items. When we came into town, it was late, we wanted a refreshment, and it was a great night. The other part of being in the everyday living is you walk across the bike/pedestrian bridge into town (?) (the Olde town? City Center?, not sure what to call it) and, if during a work/school day, people are everywhere, with kids, seemingly too young to be on their own, going about on their bikes/scooters. Crime seems to be low in this beautiful village. It was more grey this time of year, but we had one fantastic clear day to view the snow capped Alps, which is another part of the fun of Konstanz. The train is a 23 minute walk away, so if you have time and don't want to get a cab (not sure if the bus goes by there?) you can walk it. (Cabs seem to be pricey around the area) If I could stay in that flat for a month, I would. Still may.
