We had a great time staying at Maja's place which was a fantastic base for exploring the busy area of Prenzlauer Berg as well as Berlin in general. We appreciated the flexible arrangements for collecting the key as we were checking in relatively late. The flat itself is charming and has everything you need for a comfortable stay with a well equipped little kitchen and a spacious bedroom and bathroom. There is also a little table and seating area in the kitchen which were nice for sitting over a leisurely breakfast or late night glass of wine. A big highlight for us was a very comfortable bath (we live in an apartment with only a shower, so this is a real treat!)We also appreciated being able to do a load of laundry during our stay.
Much as we loved the apartment, the best thing about it was probably the location, situated near the crossroads of two long streets which are thriving with cafes, bars, and restaurants (not to mention an amazing English language bookshop which basically made my holiday!). Maja provided some tips after booking which helped us navigate the wealth of food options on offer. There is also a REWE supermarket about 10 minutes walk away for picking up your own food supplies. There are several metro and tram connections in easy walking distance, and we found it quick and easy to get to both the central station and other areas. You are also about 12-15 minutes walk or a short tram ride from Bernaeur Street which is a must visit if you are interested in the history of Berlin during the time of the Berlin Wall.
The only negative I have to say is that the stairs up to the apartment (which doesn't have a lift) are not to be underestimated! There are a full 4 and a half floors to get up which definitely felt like a work out every time. This wasn't a problem for us personally but definitely one to be aware of if mobility is a problem for you. Otherwise I can't recommend this highly enough, definitely amongst the best AirBnbs I have used.
