Stephanie’s apartment was just perfect for our 10 days in Berlin.
The apartment was spotlessly clean and very quiet. It was easy to access as it is on the ground floor and the lovely patio was perfect for evening meals or a glass of wine. The location of the apartment was perfect - away from the hustle and bustle of touristy Berlin but close to great restaurants and parks including the wonderful Park Am Weinberg which is just across the road. The restaurant NOLA in the park was perfect for evening drinks or a full meal. For kids the park has splash parks and play equipment. I used the Spin facility BECycle for SPIN classes in English - just around the corner. The trams run right outside the gate of the apartment complex and are very convenient and many U-Bahn stops are close by.
The apartment was perfectly laid out and stocked with everything you could need. Yes, it has no air conditioning but we were there in 98 degree weather and with judicious use of blinds and air flow, had not problems with the temperature. A former negative review of this place said there were mosquitos- there were absolutely NONE. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans etc and we cooked a few meals there from the Kochhaus in Prenzlauer Berg which allows you to shop the exact ingredients for a meal so there is no waste. The main supermarket is very close. There’s a wine store nearby with a very helpful and enthusiastic owner.
Do check out the Zionskirche which is just up the road. An important historic spot and check out the beehives!
