It is a wonderful space and I love the architecture, color scheme and design. I also enjoyed Peter's artwork displayed through the studio apartment. Everything was clean, very nice and I think in a great location close to the zoo, Tiergarten, parking, etc. I can see how others not used to Berlin might not like the location. Follow the white painted signs on the ground to the new Edeka a few blocks away (Claudia will provide directions). The space could sleep 8, but would be very tight in the dining area and bathrooms and openness and closeness of the bedrooms. But for a short stay with expectations of being close quarters, it's a fantastic space. We were a family of 5 guests and it was quite comfortable. I can see how some might not like the neighborhood, but that is Berlin (and many big cities). The fact that the space is behind several doorways make me feel quite safe and in our own little world within Berlin. It's not specifically close to anything, but accessible to everything, you're right down town. We walked quickly to the Zoo, Tiergarten and Brandenberg Gate, embassy's, etc. Thanks so much Claudia!
