Il Cubo

Positive: The property was stylish and comfortable and very clean. Angela had thought of everything guests may need and it was all modern and in excellent condition

Negative: Nothing

Positive: Clean, modern, equipped

Negative: Colour scheme, low light, no main light, just multiple lamps, very boudiour like

Positive: The apartment was fantastic, large (45m2), with everything except a microwave. It is called Il Cubo after the cube inside the apartment that houses the bathroom and the kitchen at the back. The ground floor apartment is set in lovely grounds with a great outdoor area to enjoy the gardens. Our host was extremely helpful.

Positive: One of the reasons we choose Il Cubo was because it looked artistically unique, and we were not disappointed. The location is in a quiet residential neighborhood, but the backyard landscaping made it feel like a quiet personal hideaway. It is close to several good restaurants and a well-stocked convenience store at the nearby gas station. The nearby bus stop route takes you to the main train station in Bern, right on the edge of the old town. Il Cubo even provided us with a free bus voucher for the length of our stay. The location is also within a few minutes of the highway, which was convenient for day trips to Thun, Lauterbrunnen, Neuchatel, and Murten. Our host Angela was fantastic, stopping by each morning to see if we needed anything, taking care of all our needs, and she even did our laundry because the nearby laundromat we had planned to use was no longer self-service. She kept the fridge well-stocked, and there were all the kitchen necessities to enable us to cook and prepare some meals. The name Il Cubo apparently comes from the unique cubicle structure in the center of the apartment, which Angela’s husband designed and built. It contains all the necessary elements of a rental apartment into one central location. One side is the kitchen, the other is the bathroom and shower. One end is for multiple storage cabinets, shelves, and hangers, and the other end (I believe) contains the environmental appliances.

Negative: On-street parking in the residential neighborhood can be problematic, requiring a CHF15 per day parking permit. However, Angela was nice enough to let us park in a space on the property. That space, however, is not always available. If you're not used to the space limitation of Swiss parking spots, it may take a bit of practice to learn how to negotiate the manuver without scraping the car.

Positive: The place is so beautiful and clean. I genuinely felt sad leaving the place. So well maintained and calm area. Very near the Bern station and old town

Negative: Nothing. Everything was just perfect!

Positive: The property is very comfortable with many creative and artistic touches in line with the unique taste of the delightful host, Angela

Negative: Nothing
