Alan's apartment was a fantastic home base for me for my first visit to Berlin. The location is excellent, with a great deal to offer within walking distance, and should you want to range beyond the transit connections are unbeatable with the U- & S-bahn just steps away.

The apartment is very functional and spacious. There is a courtyard inside the building where one can keep a bike. The birds in the courtyard will collectively let you know when first light breaks every morning. Other than them, it's very quiet and relaxing despite being so close to everything.

Alan was quick to respond and clear in his communications. He made sure I had all the information I needed. It could not have been a smoother stay, especially on short notice.
