Nikolai was a very lovely host and met us at the apartment, the wine was a lovely touch. The apartment had nearly everything we needed. It was clean and bed was comfortable. Washing machine in kitchen was very handy. It was hot while we were there so air dried our clothes on the small balcony. Tram was only 200m away and 7 stops to Alexanderplatz. The apartment is in a residential building with lots of apartments around. Some good restaurants nearby, and a supermarket...warning...nearly every shop in Berlin is closed on Sundays. We were busy while we were there but the only problem was coming home to a hot apartment that lacked a breeze. Had all windows open but no cross flow. There was 1 fan that we used constantly. Otherwise a good stay.
