Sadly, I was here for only a little bit of time before having to leave due to the coronavirus lockdown. I was supposed to stay a month but it didn’t turn out that way😢. In the days I was there I fell in love with the apartment. It has everything you might need for a long stay including a dishwasher, washing machine for clothes, drying rack, clothes rack, a kitchen with stove and an oven too. The wifi worked very well while I was there. I was able to get work done without issues.
The location is perfect. It was just a couple of minutes walk to multiple grocery stores and bio markets. The restaurant selection is so numerous. I loved how diverse the food options were and I took advantage of it before they started to close down! Parking is all along the neighborhood and it’s about one euro an hour (you can probably find a parking garage if staying longer), but free on Sundays. The tram is literally across the street with access to the S-bahn, and if you need a taxi, the taxi stand is just outside the door. The location is also perfectly safe and comfortable at night. As a woman who planned to stay there a month alone, I felt that the neighborhood was a place I could walk freely into the late evening with no issues.
I didn’t want to end the review without saying anything about the host. Even though I didn’t see Verde face-to-face, she was easy to contact and very kind about things happening due to the COVID circumstances. She also left some beer in the fridge and had a lot of great recommendations on her chalk wall for restaurants. She included little touches throughout the apartment I did not expect such as books about Berlin, a sewing kit, shampoo, cleaning supplies, coffee, teas, and haribo gummy bears on the bed. If there are any days available to book this place and you intend to experience Berlin in comfort, I would not hesitate to book this apartment.
