I had a great stay at Nadia's place, can't reccomend it enough. I was in Germany for a day for an event in Leverkusen, so I needed a room to sleep a few hours before my flight the next morning. The rooms are just a 15 minute walk to the airport and the surroundings looked very safe to me. I walked from the airport to the room at 1 am and then back to the airport around 5 am and didn't feel in danger at all and the streets are well lit. Although Nadia doesn't speak english and I don't speak german, we managed to communicate with the help of her son. The apartment was lovely, everything looked brand new and much better than what I was expecting to be honest. The bed was very comfy, too bad I had an early flight and couldn't enjoy it as much. If I ever need to catch an early flight in Cologne, I'll definitely stay here again!

Although we did not stay there during the day, but if you plan to use it for sleep and go, it’s perfect for a few days. It was very calm, silent and warm. The bathroom was really confy. We had plenty of space for our stuff. The host was super nice, and answered us in the second we needed something.

    Nice Mini-Partment with Bathroom, Kitchenette with Fridge/Pots&Pans, a great Work Desk and super comfy beds. Close to nice places but also great connection to central station and the city center. stayery is always a good pick, if you want to have a bit more private home feel and be independent. the staff was nice and also the Lounge very inviting. they were very verbal on the location and the proximity of the night club and had earplugs placed in the room as well (and excuses everywhere)

    Attention it is not a hotel it is a room in a private home. If you book and want to cancel, the owner will tell you ok face to face and then refuse and you will not get your money back; even if you explain that the term "establishment" in the ad means business and not private accommodation.
