The flat was in a perfect location for our week’s stay in Berlin. The U-Bahn subway station was literally just steps from the front door. Several restaurants and 24-hour mini-markets, along with the EDEKA center (with a full sized supermarket), were all within a few minutes’ walk. The flat itself was nice, bright, and spacious. As others have mentioned, the photos really don’t do it justice. We really enjoyed our stay.

For those who may be concerned that the flat is not in the "center" it is important to note that Berlin is a sprawling city of neighborhoods, each with its own history and character. If you are interested in visiting some of the most heavily touristed areas, then the subway will get you to places like the zoo and Ku'damm in 3 to 4 stops, Brandenburg Gate and Alexanderplatz in just a few more stops. Finally, if you intend to use public transport for more than 11 trips during your stay we recommend getting a regular week pass at any station (7-Tage-Karte/30 Euro) rather than the tourist cards, unless the discounts they offer are of particular interest to you.
