This is fabulous appartment at an excellent site. U-bahn is very close, Mauer memorial next to it. A historic place, and also a great appartment.
There are a few minor starting problems:
- there are in Berlin two Schönholzer straBes. Whoever came up with that idea… so follow the directions strict (as we did not 😩), step out of U-bahn Bernauer StraBe and you’ll be there in no time. If not, you might went up in some rather strange community house - and have to walk a long way back. So: Bernauer StraBe it is!!!
- the Nuki lock they use as initial entrance didn’t work on my iphone SE20. Only due to my sons iphone 8, we came in, also because we had no phone number, and only after an hour or two, a response followed. Fornutately, in the appartment, there are two sets of regular keys - you know, the metal ones - and that worked perfectly.
And remember, the appartment is not in the first building. You have to move to the garden and go to the second building, and find there your perfect spot for discovering Berlin.
All in all a dear recommendation, but with a few minor flaws at the beginning of our stay. But then again, who can think of a massive city and then name two streets equal??? 😳😱
And Berlin is fantastic, the appartment is located perfectly for exploring, is very well equipped for two, wonderful bed, and remember Berlin is huge. So you don’t want to be in the suburbs, you want to stroll for 2-3 hours, go back to your appartment, and take a new stroll in the midday. And maybe in the evening. And we had an average of 21.000 steps/day, and could have had a lot more. So imagine if you are all day in Berlin.
O and take a Tier step! Cheap and very fun to do. You’ll see them everywhere.
