We loved this place. From the moment we entered, we knew we picked a great apartment. It was a lot bigger than we thought and also so charming. It’s in a large complex, but it feels so private with its own entrance and no other apartments nearby. There are also a couple outdoor private areas and picnic table in the garden.
One of the best features that is hard to understand in the listing is its location, especially if you want great food. It’s not in the center of things, but it’s only a mile away from most major spots. So you can walk or take a quick 10-15 minute U-Bahn ride to almost every attraction.
The apartment is in a major international section so you can get great authentic food from almost every country in the world. While we were there we had Indian, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Italian, Turkish, and of course German food and beer. Two of Berlin’s iconic foodie spots were right around the corner. Mustafa’s Döner Kebab and Currywurst 36. Yum. It’s also conveniently located next to several grocery stores and mini-marts so you can always get anything you may need.
Another thing hard to appreciate in a listing is how important the hosts are to a good stay. From the moment I booked the place until I left, the communication was better than I could’ve expected. Felix answered every one of my questions, even silly ones, within minutes and even provided outside advice and help. A great example is when I asked where I could get our Covid test results printed, he replied that he could do it for us. I asked if I could meet him somewhere to pick them up and he said he’d drop them off. He had it to us within the hour and I didn’t have to worry about finding a place. Wow!
We loved Berlin and a lot had to do with our stay. We will definitely book with Felix again when we return next year to visit our son. I recommend Felix and this AirBnB with the highest possible ratings!
