This apartment is warm(we stayed in Dec), comfortable and large. Our family of seven had plenty of space. The beds are comfortable! The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a few easy meals (breakfasts, dinner). There is a Lidl close by for groceries. We rented a car. Parking was a bit of a gamble but could be found on the street if you are willing to circle enough. Public transportation is near the apartment so a car is not necessary but we prefer it with so many littles. Soren sent a huge generic list of things to do in Berlin along with some of her personal recommendations, like the cafe a few doors down!! Yummy! She also gave us some tips on where to go for the Christmas markets!
