This rooftop penthouse is THE Airbnb for panoramic views of Düsseldorf all-round. This stunning property has modern finishes, including an open-plan kitchen and living space for cooking up a storm, a free-standing tub for soaking away the day and of course, the wooden decked terrace complete with a gas BBQ and outdoor seating for checking out the epic sunsets. As the property is located slightly out of the city (just think of the views), transport links are essential – and it has them. The train into the city/old town takes just 15 minutes. Cheers to that.

In a city that’s full of pretty swish-looking properties, this one-bed apartment still stands out. With its monochrome decor and contemporary furnishings, this place would be an ideal choice for a couple who want to make the most of the trendy Unterbilk district, which is full of fashionable galleries, restaurants and boutiques. With two small balconies to chill out on too, you can enjoy city sights in the evenings when the lights turn on and the streets have a delicious nocturnal buzz.

Boasting a stylish interior, plus a location near to the Messe Expo Centre, the old town and the Rhein, this spot is ideal for a small group of friends to share on a city break. Shopping, dining and nightlife are all nearby and with easy transport links, including close proximity to the airport, it’s a functional spot, too. Besides, the cost is pretty minimal, which is great news if you’re on a budget.

Sometimes Airbnbs can feel a little clinical, but this host has made an extra effort for the apartment to be comfy and warm. In their words, they want it to feel like your own 'little house'. Only ten minutes from downtown, it’s in a great location, if you can tear yourself away from this cute space for the walk. 

If you’re looking for the full experience, this courtyard room for one will do the trick. There’s a highly recommended baguette shop just around the corner, and a further 10 minutes will take you to a whole host of cute shops and bakeries. This is a simple space inside. No frills. Single bed only. But the exterior is enough to make you want to visit. 

If you and your fellow travellers have the budget for something a little luxurious, take a look at this split-level apartment in Gerresheim, a glitzy district near the Grafenberg forest. It boasts three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a 55-inch television and a roof terrace.
