A place to stay near the Duisburg Cancer Centre while Birgit receives treatment

A family from a town in the north needs lodging in Duisburg while a child is treated.

Duisburg
My wife Birgit has been accepted for treatment at the Duisburg Cancer Centre in Duisburg, starting on Tuesday in April. We live 535 km away in a town in the north, and hotel costs would use up what we have set aside for the treatment itself. We're looking for a room, granny flat or short-term rental within about 30 minutes of the hospital, for 4 weeks. Two of us would stay: Birgit and me. We can contribute $140 a week and cook for the household if you'd like. Birgit will have some immune precautions, so a clean, smoke-free place would be ideal. A kitchen is a bonus. Thank you. Glad we found this place.
