Apartment Bear

This was a simply fabulous, extremely comfortable apartment, just a 5-minute walk from the heart of the old town in Colmar. We were greeted with a treat to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. The kitchen has everything you need to cook in. There is a lovely entertainment room downstairs and a patio outside that we feared would seem too public, but we actually felt we had a pretty good degree of privacy whilst enjoying a glass of wine in the evenings. The shower and bathtub are lovely. This was probably the nicest apartment we stayed in during our 3 weeks in France. We would certainly love to return. One note, parking by the hotel is hit or miss. If you arrive around 5 or 6 PM, it is a good time, since commuters are leaving for the day. If you arrive mid-day, it may be quite stressful to find a spot. The streets are also difficult to navigate in this area since many are one-way. There is a grocery store a couple of blocks away that will let you park if you are a customer. If you can't find parking initially, might be a good idea to pull in there and check in. Take some time to look at a map and plan your back-up plan in advance. The apartment is well worth it, and if you are lucky enough to find a spot right away, you won't need to move your car while you are there because everything is within walking distance.
