We were a group of 5 staying at Benjamin's for Berlin marathon weekend. We had a smooth commute to the start line on race day and, for spectators, the apartment is so close to mile 8 (12km) on the course! S-bahn, U-bahn, and a bus stop are all close to the apartment. We were also able to comfortably walk to further neighborhoods as a means to sight see. Drugstores and grocery stores are also close by. The decor in the apartment is dated, as some have mentioned, but it wasn't an issue for us. Beds were comfortable. The shower might take a little getting used to as there is no curtain or full shower door. Some of my friends had trouble not getting water outside of the tub. I had trouble pulling the plug up to activate the shower head instead of the spout on the first night. Water pressure was good. Lots of shampoo in the cabinets behind the mirrors. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!
