I'm looking at Boppard as a home base for exploring the Rhine with our family. Does anyone have suggestions on Airbnbs that would fit 2 adults and 3 kids? I'm finding pretty limited results on Airbnb. We'd like to be in town or near town with easy transport. We really need 4 beds. I find a lot of places with 3 bedrooms (which is fine) but only three beds. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Or, if you think we should consider another town, I'm happy to hear thoughts on that. It would just need to be easy to access from Frankfurt airport or train.

This summer we stayed at one called the white house. A few minute walk from the train stop, up a bit of a hill. But it was the best Airbnb we've ever stayed at. The host welcomed us when we got there and showed us around. He's got a great binder put together with highlights of places to see and things to do, offering both what visitors might want and where the locals go. Super clean. It is on the opposite of the tracks from the river, so it is a bit of a walk to the city center, but we didn't find it problematic.

We really liked the energy in Boppard. I believe the Rheinhotel Bellevue hotel has one or more apartments. We stayed in the hotel room, so I have no personal experience with the other lodging. You should find it on booking.com, but book directly.
Have a wonderful family trip.

This apartment is not one I've used, just one I'm aware of. It's a 3-bedroom vacation apartment, the largest of 4 apartments the owners operate, and is named "Burden." It handles 5 persons. 3 bedrooms, 4 beds, kitchen, bath, living room:

The site is in German - use a web translator for the text? The owners do list English as a communication option. They have a wine operation in town and 4 apartments as well. This is the largest of the bunch.
Tripadvisor has a page that pretends it is covering just one of the 4 apartments but has reviews that come from more than just one. I do not think all the apartments are in just one building; I am not sure of the exact location of the large apartment in question. Here is that T/A page:

I have a German-language booking site for this apartment that you can use if you can handle German. Send me a DM if you would like that link.
If not, I would send them an email in English to check exact location, availability and cost for your dates, and ask whatever questions you might have. You will need to provide your kids' ages. Mention that it is an "unverbindliche Anfrage" so that they do not not just book it automatically.
I will check a few more resources that I have on hand to see what else might be available for 5. It would really help to have your travel dates.

The Ebertor has a great location in Boppard. It's a hotel/hostel that markets multi-bed rooms to families. I have not stayed there but I do know a couple of people who have and who liked it very much.

Like Pat, I stayed at the Bellevue Rheinhotel and liked it a lot. Great location as it is only a few steps from the Rhine.
If you want an apartment, however, I would suggest trying booking.com to see if they have anything listed there. I've found that they have a much bigger selection of apartments there over Airbnb. I used them to book several apartments recently in Romania, and was very happy with my choices.
