Christina and Alexander are excellent communicators and we felt welcomed before we even arrived at the apartment. Their help in negotiating the German rail system was much appreciated. Once we arrived we were greeted and shown around the apartment and then left to settle in – the balance of information and peace was just right. I really enjoyed the small garden on the balcony and it was a pleasure to care for it (watering it) during our stay.
The apartment itself is spacious, well set up and clean. It would easily sleep 4 people and the main bedroom is roomy and has a very comfortable bed. The biggest attraction for us, however, was the view from the living room and balcony. Watching the sun set over the Dom and the TV tower (Fernsehturm) was an unexpected delight. As was listening to live music being played in the plaza below and watching the street life from the balcony – the sounds of the city were a wonderful background for the flat even though they could hardly be heard with the main balcony windows closed.
The apartment’s location was ideal for us, a very short walk to the SBahn station and only a slightly longer one to the attractions on Museum Island. We were very impressed with how easy it is to get around Berlin using the S or U Bahn and having both a tram stop and the station so close to the apartment was a real selling point for us.
All in all this apartment and the help given by Christina and Alexander made our holiday a truly memorable one which we would like to repeat soon.
