Absolutely wonderful. A perfect apartment for a couple to base their Berlin adventures from!
Of course, location is key, and Axel & Anne's flat is excellently placed. All the *extensive* charms of Prenzlauer Berg are within strolling range, and one can readily reach the entirety of Berlin by hoping on the U- or S-bahn just a couple blocks away. Axel & Anne have also thoughtfully provided some very nice books to help you learn about Berlin and inspire your plans, as well as a full complement of tips on their personal favorites.
The apartment is clean and well appointed with all the essentials for comfort and utility. Despite its proximity to everything, it's quite peaceful. We visited in early Jan, and apartment was always cozy & warm, as well as bright during the (very short!) days. We greatly enjoyed our mornings making coffee with the french press, trying new Deutsche groceries from the nearby Rewe supermarket, and listening to Radio Eins.
Most notably, Axel & Anne were a wonderful hosts. We checked in on Dec 31, and there was a split of bubbles waiting for us to celebrate the new year with. Communication was always fast and thoughtful, and Axel came to meet us to say a friendly goodbye at our departure.
Axel & Anne truly are superhosts. For many hosts, it's just a business; the less interaction, the better. Axel & Anne still care about the personal experience and it makes such a difference. Vielen Dank!
