Unfortunately our host couldn't meet us to introduce us to the apartment. Her cleaner let us in and we had to improv a bit. Everything was relatively straight forward though! Massive living area with a comfortable bedroom and a beautiful bathroom.

There wasn't any grocery shops that we knew of in the area (I did find one about 5 min walk away eventually) but there was a few basics that we had to buy (soap, milk, toothpaste etc.) Would have been great to know where the shop was the first day. I had to do a bit of reconnaissance on the area and it took a while to find out where I could go to buy these things as they weren't in the apartment.

The apartment is beautiful and exactly as it appears in the photos but I think it's worth noting that it's not an actual Loft. It's on the ground floor with a door from the living room onto the street. The bedroom is also just above street level so you can hear people walking by but it's not very loud.

The location was perfect. An underground station just down the street and bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk. Museum Island is a 10 minute walk away.

I would definitely recommend this place as it's fantastic! But I would say that if you're not comfortable with being on the ground floor or with having windows and a porch/door onto the street this might not suit. It's certainly the best location for getting around and making the most of your time in Berlin though.
