This is a superb apartment in a wonderful location. It is extremely well appointed with elegant rooms. Although it is close to a major street (Hohenzollerndamm) there is very little street noise. Throughout, the decorations are extremely tasteful, with interesting paintings, drawings and sculptures (some of them done by Anette, the owner). To our mind, there are no drawbacks at all.
Although we came with high expectations, they were exceeded. We hope to come back -- often.
