This is a lovely, well cared for apartment in a very nice neighbourhood of the city. Four of us (two children 11 and 8, my wife and myself) stayed for 8 nights and loved it. It is clean, tastefully decorated, has a great kitchen area (I love to cook and spent a lot of time in there – plenty of space and all the necessary equipment) and the cooking hob/oven is a fast and modern Siemens model. Bert also provides a ‘Nespresso’ espresso machine, a great touch for when you are in need of a caffeine hit!
Everything was pretty much as described on Bert’s Air B&B page. All the ‘home comforts’ and free Wi-Fi - essential for all of us especially the kids!
The balcony is a comfortable, nice area to sit out on and have a good view of the neighbourhood and beyond. Although we didn't make the most of it due to scaffolding/building work.
There is plenty to do in the neighbourhood - good shopping/cafes/bars/restaurants/supermarkets. Hokey Pokey ice cream parlour was a bit hit with us as was Zia Maria (huge pizzas). The Sunday Flea Market at Mauerpark and The Memorial wall/park are both close by and easy to walk to.
There is also close access to Tram and U/S Bahn to visit all the sights in Berlin (too many to mention). All in all, a great place to stay – Bert is very helpful, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again and also recommend our friends and family to stay there. Thank you Bert!
(complimentary drinks were a nice touch too)
