The smart living nest

Hotel Description

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to The smart living nest on Gomaringer Straße, I’ll be honest — the name had me curious, and the building didn’t disappoint. This four-star property sits in Degerloch, which is actually one of Stuttgart‘s more elevated districts, and you immediately get that sense of being slightly removed from the city buzz while still being connected to everything. The modern facade has this clean, almost minimalist vibe that somehow feels both sophisticated and welcoming at the same time.

The Degerloch Advantage

Here’s what I love about this location — Degerloch gives you that perfect balance between residential calm and urban accessibility. You’re perched up on Stuttgart’s southern hills, which means better air and some genuinely nice views depending on where your room faces. The area has this sort of upscale suburban feel, but you can still hop on public transport and be in the city center in about 20 minutes. Plus, there’s something to be said for staying somewhere that locals actually choose to live — you get a more authentic feel for the city rather than just the tourist bubble.

Smart Design, Practical Comfort

The “smart living” concept isn’t just marketing speak here — they’ve actually thought through the details in a way that makes sense. The rooms have this contemporary setup with clean lines and neutral tones, but what I appreciated most was how functional everything felt. Storage solutions that actually work, lighting that you can adjust properly, and tech integration that doesn’t require an engineering degree to figure out. The beds are genuinely comfortable too, which honestly isn’t always a given even at four-star places.

The Practical Perks

You know what really won me over? The parking situation — it’s free, which in Stuttgart is basically like finding gold. Recent guests have been rating the location at 9.0, and I can see why. There’s a decent restaurant scene within walking distance, including some local spots that aren’t just tourist traps. The staff seems to genuinely know the area well, so they can point you toward things like the best bakery for morning pastries or which S-Bahn connection will get you to the Mercedes-Benz Museum fastest.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.1 rating makes sense when you experience the place — it’s that sweet spot where everything works without being flashy about it. Couples particularly seem to appreciate the quieter Degerloch setting, and I can understand that appeal. You get the romance of being slightly removed from the urban chaos, but you’re not stuck in the middle of nowhere either. The whole “nest” concept actually plays out in practice — it feels like a comfortable base where you can recharge between exploring Stuttgart’s automotive heritage, wandering through the Schlossgarten, or checking out the city’s surprisingly vibrant cultural scene. It’s the kind of place where you’ll sleep well and wake up actually looking forward to another day of city exploration.

• What a fantastic place to stay in Stutgart! – Ikamp3 from Austria – July 20, 2025 (10/10)

  Smart Living Nest Stuttgart was a fantastic place to stay—clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed. The location is excellent, with easy access to public transport, supermarkets, and cafes. Check-in was smooth, and communication with the host, Denis, was always quick and efficient. The apartment had everything I needed, including a well-equipped kitchen and fast Wi-Fi. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Stuttgart.

• Peaceful, Smart, and Impeccably Comfortable – Ikamp3 from Austria – July 15, 2025 (10/10)

  My stay at The Smart Living Nest was nothing short of exceptional. The apartment is beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything one could need — from smart home features to a fully stocked kitchen and washer/dryer. The location is quiet and green, yet very well connected to both the city center and the airport. Check-in was smooth and contactless, and the host was kind, responsive, and clearly attentive to every detail. It truly felt like a home away from home — I would return without hesitation.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was exactly as described — I have no complaints at all.

• Exceptional – Rafaelrp from Spain – August 14, 2024 (10/10)

  El apartamento está genial. Todo es nuevo, super limpio y lleno de domótica. Tiene todas las comodidades para hacerte sentir mejor que en casa. Cocina completa incluso con horno, lavadora, secadora, aire acondicionado… Sin duda alguna , repetiremos en nuestra próxima visita. Ideal para parejas o familias con niños a partir de 4-5 años
  
  What could be improved: Por poner algo, quizás la estrechez de las escaleras de subida…. ¡Pero es que es un ático! Perdería su encanto si no fuese así.

• Disappointing – Stylianos from Germany – January 20, 2025 (4/10)

  Sehr moderne Ausstattung, nah an den ÖPNV und sehr sauber
  
  What could be improved: Die Kommunikation mit der Person, mehrmals angerufen nie dran gegangen. Die Zimmern waren klein für eine Familie, für 2 3 Tage ok aber sonst eher nicht. Eine sehr sehr steile Treppe mit Kleinkinder sehr gefährlich aber auch für Erwachsene mit viel Gepäck nicht das beste und äußerst anstrengend.
