This apartment was awesome, we were really happy with it. It has a lot of space with a really nice balcony and good lighting. The apartment is much bigger than it looks like on the listing which was a pleasant surprise. Max was really responsive via email and easy to connect with before arriving in Berlin. He provided really easy directions on arriving to the apartment that really helped. We also ran into him on the street and he was nice enough to walk us up and show us into the apartment, which was really nice of him. The area was perfect, some bars right outside on the street and also not too far from the center of Berlin, very easy to navigate. There was a grocery store close by with an ATM that made it really convenient for food and to get cash out. The only downside was the stairwell to get to the apartment seems to be under construction with lots of dust and could be somewhat scary if you're alone at night. We were in a group though and didn't really mind since the apartment was so nice. It had a true beach feel which was really homely. I'd definitely recommend it!
