Ellen’s place was really perfect for me and my wife on our honeymoon. The space is perfect — a kitchen, a bathroom, a bedroom, and a combo dining room/living room. For the two of us, it was just enough room. The kitchen and bathroom could be a little tight for the two of us at the same time, but generally, it was not an issue, and just an adjustment to European spaces!
We were really grateful for the washing machine and drying rack. Top tip: turn on the fan in the living room to speed drying of clothes on the rack — took it from ~36 hours to completely dry without the fan to about 12 with the fan.
We thought this apartment was super well-situated in Berlin. It’s quite close to a couple of tram stops, and a short (~5 minute) walk from a U-Bahn/S-Bahn stop. This enabled us to get to some top sights, restaurants, and church really quickly and easily. It is not really close to the main sights, but that is exactly what we wanted! The neighborhood is not filled with tourists, but it is a short distance from the sights that is quickly and easily covered by public transportation or taxi/Uber/Free Now.
I want to give a special shout out to Malte, Ellen’s employee who cleaned and helped us check in. He is a rockstar and a huge help, and, honestly, super kind. He deserves a raise!
Thanks for the hospitality, Ellen and Malte!
