Marius's place is at an ideal crossroads in Kreuzkolln, walking distance from so many great places to eat, drink and just relax (the Kanal!!!). I walked as far as Berghain in Friedrichchain, Mitte, and of course all over Kreuzberg and Neukolln - it's a great central location. Grocery stores and spaetes are everywhere nearby. Every time I am in Berlin I stay in this neighborhood and feel like I chip off a little piece of my soul to drop into the Kanal before I leave.
This was the 6th consecutive year I've been to Berlin and this was definitely one of the best flats I've rented. I loved the kitchen, balcony, quirky decor, and the comfy bed. The host, Marius, is incredibly responsive and helped me with a construction issue that occurred while I was staying with him. He also sent a helpful list of places to check out nearby which was very kind of him to take the time to send. Check in was super simple, just had to go to a Spaete nearby to pick up/drop off the key when checking out (Nest service).
The lift was a nice touch as well, especially if you have a lot of baggage you don't want to lug up loads of stairs. All in all, totally recommend this flat! Thanks Marius!
