Marko was a dream right from the start. He was prompt with communication, helpful, kind, and gracious. The apartment is very well appointed, with a non-touristy unique location. If you want a feel for a real Berlin neighborhood that is on the cusp of gentrification, then you've found your spot. The space is spotless, spacious, warm, and inviting. The furniture and art is lovely, the beds were super comfortable, and we had everything we needed to make our vacation memorable. It truly was a home away from home. Marko went above and beyond, and helped us out with a small load of laundry that we desperately needed to do (we have small children, and life happens). He even returned the clothes neatly folded for us. We had breakfast at the local neighborhood bakery every morning. Delicious with an open kitchen, and the best bread/baked goods you will ever have. Public transport is a quick, short walk away, and getting places was easy. Thanks for everything Marko and Marlon.
