#1 Best for Those on a Budget

An absolute win for budget travellers, I don’t generally enjoy using Airbnb for rooms only (preferring to take whole apartments) but this would definitely prove an exception in my book.

With incredible ratings, a central location right near the train station, a superhost and a great vibe (think full of movies and books) this Airbnb in Heidelberg is an absolute steal.

The room is private and within an apartment in a very well-heeled district, plus it has a balcony.

Add-on vegan dinners are possible if you let the host know 2 hours in advance.

This place sleeps up to 2 people, but is affordable enough for single travellers also – an absolute bargain!
