I'm an American and I came to Germany not knowing a lot about Regina's apartments. The apartments…read moreare called Regina's because a nice older German woman named regina owns them. She is very sweet and speaks a little english. If you email her, she is very responsive. I always email her before I fly home for the holidays and she says I can pay the rent when I get back if I need to. So...she's wonderful. My apartment is great. Utilities, wifi, parking and cleaning service once a week is included in the rent. I think it's an incredible rate for what you get! The apartment building I'm in (Gerhart-Hauptmann Str 20) is only a few blocks from the strassenbahn and there's a lot of great restaurants nearby. Very safe area. The apartments are fully furnished..the only thing I had to buy when I got here was a toaster, toaster oven, a large kitchen trash bin (the one in the apartment is just too small) and a laundry basket (just things I like to personally have). The down side: there is only one washer and dryer in the basement of each building and it only takes 1 euro coins so that's kind of annoying. There's also no gym- which is weird for American guests since most apartment buildings in America have gyms. Also..there are NO ovens in most of these apartments. The kitchens have VERY small refrigerators (and freezers) compared to American kitchens but she does provide a coffee maker, dishes, cups, utensils, dish rags, a microwave, etc. Don't worry- after a while- you get used to the small refrigerator!! lol Overall- I have lived in this place for more than a year and love it! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place near Darmstadt. Regina apartments is wonderful!!
