We had an amazing time in Berlin and Katie's beautiful home was the perfect place to start and end each day. We felt at home from the moment we arrived. The apartment was gorgeous, clean and beautifully designed (as you can see from the photos). I could have stared at the original ceiling and stunning lighting for days, features which really created a sense of warmth. it literally felt like home.
The location could not have been more perfect. It's smack in the center of one of the the most cultural districts of Berlin, close to lots of fantastic restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery markets. And when you're ready to explore beyond the neighborhood, public transportation is just a quick 5 min. walk from the apt.
Katie was a perfect host. She greeted us at the apartment when we arrived, showed us around and was on her way. She created a personalized map of the immediate area with all her favorite places to eat, get groceries and the BEST coffee in Berlin. All of the places were amazing, a couple of which we never would have discovered on our own. She also left us a delicious selection of beers, cheese, sausage and quince in the fridge ... a lovely, welcoming touch.
This is an amazing apartment, Katie is a lovely host, Berlin is (now) one of my favorite cities and when we return this will be the first place on our list.
thank you katie and thank you berlin. until next time ...
