Great little apartment in a beautiful street, close to all the main sites. The building itself is an architectural gem and the arched windows in the apartment provide great natural light and are a great feature. The U-Bahn is a couple of blocks away and the tram/bus is around the corner so it is pretty easy to get around. Klaus provided great instructions on how to get there from the airport and was very communicative in the lead up. Self check in/our was also pretty simple. Distrik coffee shop across the road is fantastic for breakfast and coffee but get there early as it gets very busy. Katz Orange is also great and we had a wonderful dinner there.
Some things to be aware of: 1. As all the other reviews have said and as is noted in description of the apartment, the apartments are above Katz Orange and the courtyard the apartment looks onto is part of the restaurant seating. As a result it can be noisy, but with the windows closed it didn’t affect our ability to sleep even on Friday and Saturday night. 2. The apartment gets quite stuffy and there is no fan or air conditioning. Fortunately for us, the weather was quite reasonable so it wasn’t too bad but I imagine it could get awful in summer. Opening the windows provides good relief but you can’t really sleep with the open given the noise from the restaurant and for non-smokers like us, we found we couldn’t handle the smoke coming from those using the court yard. 3. Other reviews mentioned a lack of amenities. We did not find this to be an issue. Shampoo, conditioner, soap and a hairdryer are provided. The only thing I would note is that bath towels are very thin so aren’t particularly nice to use. None of these things were major issues for us and overall we really enjoyed our stay and would likely stay there again if we return to Berlin.
