We were a group of 6 filmmakers staying in the apartment for about 3 weeks, worried about the act of living in a small space, all together for such a long time.
The apartment proved us wrong. It is so spacious, with big windows that let a lot of sunlight in and airy, there was never a moment in which we felt cramped. I don’t believe we ever met Kim, but a woman named Dorothy helped us with any problems we had. It was very clean when we arrived. You do have to get your own bedsheets and towels, however, which is of course a little tiring if you’re coming in after a long day of travel.
The kitchen and the bathroom were both very nice. The washer works really well, but the drying rack right next to it didn’t really work all the way, which forced a lot of us to go to the nearest laundromat (a couple metro stops away) and dry it there.
At first there was no WiFi installed, and we desperately needed it for our production. Without hesitation, there was WiFi installed and every problem we had with it was fixed within a 24 hour turnaround. So great!
The location of the apartment, although listed as Mitte, it is actually located in an area called Wedding. It’s not bad at all, with some delicious restaurants nearby and some nice parks near the river. It’s beyond easy to get around, given the fact that the SBahn & Ubahn are both within 500 feet of the apartment. It is a very quiet residential neighborhood, so make sure that after 10 PM you don’t make much noise. The downstairs neighbor came up a couple of times to talk to different members of our group to ask us to be gentle with our walking, as he could hear us from below. He was also super nice about it, however.
In short, if you’re traveling with a group and need a fantastic place to stay: look no more. This is it. Three weeks went by so fast, and I would say it is in great part because of the comfort we had in this apartment. We sure are going to miss it.
