Alessandro and Barbara’s apartment is a modernist sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of Wedding.
The room itself is very private and completely separate from the hosts’ apartment. It is located next to another room owned by Alessandro and Barbara along a quiet corridor (where you will find a bookshelf of helpful travel guides and books) with a lockable door. It is very safe and you need three keys to access the room from the street.
Inside is a double bed, kettle, wardrobe and ensuite bathroom with products. A window can be opened overlooking the private courtyard. The room is light, airy and comfortable with a modern decorative twist.
The room is a little noisy, for people not accustomed to apartment living. One can easily hear the neighbours’ footsteps upstairs and the occasional noise from the apartment next door. But these are normal city living noises and would not disturb most people, particularly if you’re out exploring the sights of Berlin all day. There was no noise at night and we slept well throughout our stay.
The apartment is located in Wedding, which is a brilliant area! There are two excellent breweries within walking distance (Vagabond and Eschenbräu), a peaceful community garden serving seasonal produce harvested from the allotments and good local beer (Himmelbeet) plus numerous Turkish restaurants where one can enjoy a tasty meal any time of day (Carik Kuruyemis did a fantastic breakfast). Be sure to check out Rebel Burger for a great meal too. Transport links to other areas of Berlin were close, quick and easy!
Overall we had a great stay at Alessandro and Barbara’s and we are eager to return to Berlin again for a third time!
