The neighbourhood
Medieval lanes,
a market square, a river.
The studio is on the ground floor of a building in Basel Old Town, the medieval heart of the city: steep historic lanes, small shops, cafés and wine bars, between Marktplatz, Spalentor and the Münster.
From here, the Old Town is a place to walk: the market square, the cathedral, the Rhine and many of the host’s favourite cafés and restaurants are part of the same historic centre.
For privacy, the exact address is shared by Airbnb with confirmed guests only.
