We thought Bernds apartment was perfect. It really is beautiful inside and very luxurious and comfortable- even lovelier than the photographs. It has very good quality tasteful furniture and furnishings, very comfortable beds, lots of space and very bright and airy and of course the large roof terrace made it a really lovely place to stay and made a busy city holiday very , very relaxing and extra special. The kitchen is really well equipped- a real cooks kitchen. The whole apartment was spotlessly clean. Bernd was the perfect host- very helpful and communicative from the start and throughout our stay and there was always someone on hand to pop in and help if we had any problems ( we didn’t!). This area of East Berlin, Friedrichshain, is residential ,with plenty of supermarkets, bakeries/food shops, cafes and restaurants and good carry out fresh food stalls at the bottom of the street. The SBahn station is 3 minutes walk away- and so we felt it was quite a central place to stay as you can travel from there to Brandenburg Berlin Airport in 20/25 minutes and into the city centre in 15-20 minutes.You can also walk quite easily to many places such as Treptower, Kreuzberg, the East Side Gallery ( for fit to fly covid testing!) etc.
