Surprisingly no very "Noisy" or "Boring", this simple and clean apartment was a lovely stay in Berlin for anyone who wants to stay in a central location for a very reasonable price. The apartment is in a quiet, sparsely populated building next to a U-bahn and S-bahn station. A block away is a discount grocery store for any perishables or extra toiletries you may need. The apartment is just a few blocks from the river where there is a lovely waterfront path. Most attractions are walkable between 10-30 minutes, or easily accessible by train or bus.
Despite showing up wildly late for check-in due to a delayed flight, Ivos was pleasant and gave us a thorough briefing on all of the best places to visit, eat, drink, and sightsee. We used his annotated map throughout the duration of our stay and found it very helpful many times over.
The apartment itself was a great size for two people, with the possibility of maybe even a third. The kitchen was particularly well furnished with handheld appliances, cooking utensils, and even an espresso machine that saved us many euros on cafe-bought morning coffee. The bathroom was clean and the shower produced very hot water. Ivos left several spare towels out for our use. The view from the main window in the living area was phenomenal and perfect for people watching. We were even able to catch glimpses of Annual City of Light festival on the Berlin TV Tower. The location was definitely our favorite part of the apartment as we never had any trouble getting to where we wanted to go quickly and for cheap.
Overall great experience and Ivos is very easy to communicate with, as he responds promptly and is available to answer questions often.
