This rental property was perfect for our 10-night stay. Top features for the two of us were the air conditioning, the location, the quiet, having a clothes washer, the overall comfort (beds, couch etc.), and the kindness and help of Mr. Haller, the owner. And the jacuzzi. Sheer curtains over the gigantic wall of windows were installed just prior to our arrival, and they worked perfectly. No sunglasses needed indoors (as mentioned by previous viewer), yet the view was not obstructed. I liked that the shower water temperature can be set and comes on instantly at that temperature (wish I had this at home!)
As the owner clearly represents on his VRBO/HomeAway page, he speaks French and German. As primarily English speakers ourselves, we still felt comfortable to rent, and we were right. Together with Mr. Haller, we used phone apps to quickly translate and clearly communicate with no trouble at all. It was part of the fun!
We also were pleased with our choice of Bergheim. A handful of restaurants, open on different days, meant we could eat dinner within walking distance, which we did most days. Boulangerie for breakfast treats of course! And, there was never a problem with car parking (right at the house) or getting in and out of town, as it is not swarmed with tourists (but definitely so charming and worth a visit.)
Another unexpected plus for this town is the pharmacy. Bergheim's includes a specialty in orthopedics. When I got a blister on my foot and had some never-experienced-before ankle swelling (lots of walking in hot temps), the pharmacist examined me and measured me for compression socks and put them on me and applied the blister bandage herself! She was very kind and even spoke English. (This service is not done in U.S. pharmacies.)
We had been to other areas of France seven times before and can now add this to our list of ideal places to vacation in France. It was so easy to get to the Alsace region on the high-speed train from Paris (under 2 hours). And it is also very easy to drive to all the charming villages on the wine route. Thank you to Mr. Haller for creating a very special place to stay and for his wonderful help and responsiveness.
