I was blown away by this apartment when I walked in. Not only is it beautifully decorated, it’s enormous! The huge windows on both sides of the flat made it bright and breezy, which was perfect for the very warm weather. The Spittelberg location was fantastic with restaurants, cafes, shops, and groceries around every corner. And the tourist areas were close enough to walk to but far enough away to avoid the chaos and crowds. The view over the residential street with the streetcar running down it was charming, and it was mostly quiet; completely quiet with the windows closed. The back windows look out into the quiet inner courtyard. It was spacious, spotless, and homey, and I started to wish I actually lived here.
Florian was a friendly and welcoming host who was justifiably proud of his place. All of his emailed instructions and on-premise notes about the home were detailed and helpful. I was especially impressed and grateful that he made time to wait for and greet me at the apartment even though he was dealing with important family business (I learned after we met in person).
My only regret was not staying longer.
Thank you!
