Simon’s place is really a gem. The apartment is very cozy and offers great amenities including an outdoor patio and laundry room. The building is well maintained and Simon displayed some nice touches by sharing some welcome and parting gifts. Location-wise, the apartment is conveniently situated steps from the Wedding train station which is 15 minutes from most sites and attractions such as Aleksanderplatz and the Berlin Wall. Also, there is a fully equipped grocery store down the block if needed. Despite the fact that the apartment has no AC, the temperature drops at night coupled with multiple windows in the apartment helped cool down the unit substantially for a pleasant night’s rest. Can’t wait to stay at Simon’s place again when next I visit Berlin!
