Cornelius was an AMAZING host!!
But first the apartment:
It was exactly as described and perhaps even better with all the natural light and brilliant water pressure (which I’ve grown accustomed to not having when traveling Europe). The apartment was central to everything and close to the station (S Baun & Tram) to get anywhere in Berlin. The neighborhood was so cute!! Many bars, restaurants, and cafes within a 3 minute walk that you can easily get to in the morning before you leave or if you get back early to the apartment then you can have a nice dinner or even just go out for drinks nearby. My mom also has a difficult time getting around bc of knee surgery and back problems so the lift inside and the central location was a must and it exceeded expectations!
Now for Cornelius himself - what a nice host!! The first day we arrived, on our way out to dinner I accidentally left the keys to the apartment inside!! He easily and quickly (within 5 minutes) remotely unlocked the apartment to let us back in and was very kind about it! He sent over many food recommendations beforehand and directions from the airport which was extremely helpful!
My mother and I spent 10 days in Berlin and would do it all again in this spot!!! Highly recommend and if I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!
