Ferienwohnung Sonnwald Overview
First Impressions
Walking down Fasanenweg in Unterrath, you might almost miss Ferienwohnung Sonnwald — it’s tucked away in a quiet residential area that feels worlds apart from the bustling city center. This four-star apartment sits in the souterrain level, which honestly had me a bit skeptical at first, but once you step inside, you realize the owners have turned what could’ve been a basement into something genuinely welcoming. The 9.7 rating makes perfect sense when you see how thoughtfully everything’s been arranged.
Location & Neighborhood
Unterrath isn’t exactly where most tourists end up, but that’s actually part of its charm. You’re about 15 minutes from Düsseldorf’s Altstadt by public transport, close enough to hit the main sights but far enough to escape the tourist crowds when you want to unwind. The neighborhood has this authentic German residential feel — tree-lined streets, local bakeries, and the kind of quiet that lets you actually sleep through the night. I mean, couples rate this place highly for romantic getaways, and I can see why — there’s something intimate about staying somewhere that feels like a local secret.
The Space
The room setup surprised me in the best way possible. Despite being on the lower level, it doesn’t feel dark or cramped — they’ve done clever things with lighting and mirrors that make the space feel much larger than it actually is. The kitchen area is compact but functional, with everything you need if you want to grab groceries from the nearby shops and cook something simple. You know what I appreciated most? The attention to small details — proper hangers in the closet, enough outlets near the bed, and blackout curtains that actually work.
Practical Perks
Getting around from here is easier than you’d expect. There’s decent parking if you’re driving, though honestly, you might not need a car much once you’re settled in. The public transport connections are solid — the U-Bahn gets you downtown without much fuss, and there are grocery stores and cafes within walking distance. The owners clearly know what travelers need because they’ve stocked the place with local maps, restaurant recommendations, and even some basic pantry items to get you started.
Why Guests Love It
What really sets this place apart is how it strikes that perfect balance between privacy and accessibility. You get your own space to spread out and relax — something you just can’t find in most hotels — but you’re not stranded in the middle of nowhere. The recent guests who rated the location 8.9 weren’t wrong; it’s one of those spots that grows on you the longer you stay. Plus, for couples especially, there’s something nice about having a proper apartment where you can actually live a bit rather than just crash between sightseeing sessions. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to extend your stay by a day or two.
Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Dusseldorf through local agencies that offer personalized recommendations and insider knowledge about the best neighborhoods for exploring the city’s rich fashion and cultural heritage.

Excellent stay! Everything you need was provided. Cold water in the fridge and coffee were cherries on the pie. Open air balcony was great to refresh, especially for smokers. Clean, convenient, and extra helpful landlord.
