The stay was absolutely amazing! Think modern, minimalist home meets quaint, homey neighborhood. The home itself was just beautiful (everything looked just like the pictures which was hard to believe), had amazing amenities, and a beautiful view. The neighborhood was very pretty and near some water which made for great walks. It is on the quieter side, which we loved, but there is still everything you could need (groceries, corner stores, restaurants, cafes, bars, transportation). During the week you may wake up early to sound from the stairwell, children going to school, and the smell of fresh bread from the bakery across the street. The early hustle and bustle was quite endearing to witness from the balcony — sometimes even the bathtub, which has a lovely window you can open to let in some crisp air. Things close a little earlier making it quieter at night. There are many places to eat and bars within a few minute walk (we loved freya fuchs for drinks), though keep in mind they don’t stay open as late as some restaurants/bars do in more lively areas of Berlin. Transit is easy with most stations being a 10-15 min walk and rides being 20-40 min depending on where you wanted to go. We didn’t take the buses but there are many stops right outside. The hosts were really helpful and friendly, quick to reply as well even though they were traveling. There were a few appliances we couldn’t quite figure out without some research, the blinds (which go up and down at preset times) took a little adjusting to sound-wise, and we weren’t able to use the fireplace sadly, but other than that, the stay was everything we could’ve dreamed of and we already miss living there. Thank you for sharing your home and neighborhood with us, it was a beautiful time!
