We loved or stay at Ralph's place in Berlin, and found it even better than than the photos suggest! We were travelling with two teenage children and needed them to have space and privacy, as well as somewhere for the family to be together. The apartment is huge, with two really big double rooms, a generous sleeping area off the lounge, and a twin room at the end of the corridor. We did not need to use this room, but if you did you may want to bear in mind that it comes directly off the kitchen and the prison type door is not solid, so noise can travel. The apartment was REALLY warm, and we were there with inches of snow on the ground. The hot water was constant, bathroom good, and beds very comfortable. We did not use the kitchen much for cooking but it was equipped to a good level if you did need to do this. We did not meet Ralph at check-in but a friend assisted and told us all we needed to know. Ralph was really accommodating keeping hold of our bags for a late check out, and we checked about.The apartment is great value for the space provided. Almost the best thing though is the location- you are in a real neighborhood, with great access to the U-Bahn from two stations, lots of restaurants and bars in walking distance and shops on your doorstep. Thanks Ralph, wed love to come back in the summer!
