Conveniently located in historically rich area near markets, cafes, restaurants, wonderful park&playground and steps to the ubahn at Bernauer stasse. Great little apartment I shared with my wife and daughter. Bright and sunny, pictures do the place justice. Marcello is charming and pleasant in all communications. We found the apartment to be clean, though the carpets could use replacing (hardwood or laminate would look amazing and be easier to keep clean)... but the apartment is quite comfortable otherwise. My family and I are sensitive to tobacco smoke, but we found the apartment smelled fine. I believe the smoke probably came from the apartment dowmstairs, but was faint and easily aired out by opening the windows. Thanks for the hospitality Marcello! My daughter appreciated the gift of chocolate you left her and we hope you and your guests will use the new coffee bodum we added to your amenities. Have a great summer! We thoroughly enjoyed having your place as a homebase for our Berlin adventure... a wonderful city! Cheers, Richard, Elena & Kira
