This apartment and hostess were both lovely. Doerthe was waiting for us when we arrived, right on time. She gave us a quick and complete tour of the apartment and its features.
It is located in the very hip Kreuzberg area, with wonderful clubs, cafés and shops nearby. (On nearby Bergmanstrasse, the Atlantic had excellent breakfasts almost all day-A boon for the jetlagged traveler.) The Gneissestrasse U Bahn stop and a taxi stand are right around the corner, a two minutes' walk. While it is in the center of a very active area, it is peaceful, safe and quiet. It had three beds and bedrooms, two of which were quite spacious and all of which were beautiful. The kitchen is small, but well-equipped. The bathroom has excellent lights and fixtures. Our group of three had plenty of room to spread out and have our own space. We enjoyed sitting on the bench outside drinking a cup of coffee and watching the city wake up.
Overall, this is a wonderful apartment in a wonderful area of Berlin. The only negatives, which were easily addressed, included the low entry doorway and our very high heads – one must just take care. The apartment's extensive decorations are lovely, but did require us to rearrange things a bit in order to make space for our stuff.
Overall a good apartment in a great city-and a good value as well!
