Rainer's place was perfect for our 2-week stay in Berlin. It's located within blocks of S- and U-bahn lines so getting anywhere in the city is very easy! The neighborhood itself is great: diverse, lots of great coffee and food. Small and lovely Körnerpark nearby boasts an art gallery and excellent cafe, plus we loved the old Tempelhof airfield, now a huge and well-used park with community gardens, kiteboarding, a beergarden, and a wildlife preserve. Plus, Rainer left us guidebooks, maps, and and lots of info about places to go in the city. Keep in mind the 5-story trek upstairs is not for everyone, but the apartment is just right for those who prefer to cook some of their own meals and have a cozy home base on vacation!
