Great apartment... great location.

It's right next door to a famous biergarten, upstairs from amazing gelato and a 2 minute walk to the U-bahn... not that you'll need it. You can easily walk to many sites in Berlin within 20 minutes and there's also bike rental down the street. AND if you get tired of all the great restaurants in the neighborhood, you can make your own meal in Michele's well-equipped kitchen.

One other note for travelers with safety in mind: my teenage niece and I had to get on the U-bahn at 4 a.m. to make our plane... and I was a tad concerned as I didn't know what the neighborhood would be like at that hour. Rest assured: it was completely safe. We shared the train with a few fun-loving young people coming home from the bars and also some people heading into work early.

And then there's Michele himself... if he can do anything to make your visit better, he will. He agreed to let us check in and out early with no problems.

Highly recommended!
