This is the perfect place for first-time visitors to Berlin—the location is central and walkable to so many of the major institutions and sites. It's a lovely large apartment with modern fittings—great windows, big tub, etc.—and a wonderful super-comfortable bed! The owners-managers were immediately attentive to everything we needed. They provided thorough directions on how to get in and very personal attention to our problem with getting the stove to work. The problem turned out to be that we just didn't know how to use an "induction" type of appliance! (I wrote down the instructions for Americans on the back of the manual in the top drawer near the sink).
There are lovely trees in a little park outside the living room and bedroom, and the trains run behind (no worries, the windows are soundproof)—just a stone's throw from Museum Island.
We had a fabulous time and were completely comfortable in this lovely apartment as home base.
Thanks Denis (and Tony and Volker)
