Alex was a brilliant host and communication was quick and easy. She was very accommodating to our late check in and surprised us with a couple of her favourite beers in the fridge, really lovely touch that made us feel at home.
The apartment is really lovely! The pictures almost don't do it justice with the size and how well presented it is. We were a group of 10 and we had plenty of space and didn't feel on top of each other. The downstairs basement is great for socialising and playing a few competitive games of pool! Also, the showers are GREAT!! Could stay in for hours!
The area is quiet and residential so you do have to be careful with noise, but as long as you move the group to the basement then the noise doesn't travel too much. There were lots of lovely restaurants and cafes close by, meaning we hardly left the first few streets away from the apartment (as we mainly visited for clubbing) Must absolutely recommend Bad Fish Bar - lovely friendly pub with great beer & cocktail selection!
Transport links are very close by and getting to the apartment from the airport was easy (S9 all the way!)
Overall a great experience in Berlin, made even better by Alex's lovely apartment. Will definitely be returning!
