This was my first time to Berlin and my friends advised staying in Mitte. The location is smack bang in a gentrified pocket of art galleries, designer retail stores and small hip eating and drinking spots and yet also within walking distance to big busy centres and tourist attractions. The loft is arty and spacious with a beautiful layout inclusive of a huge bank of windows looking into the green internal courtyard. The mod cons were modern and easy to operate. It was fantastic to walk through the giant wooden front entrance doors at the end of a long day. The host was incredibly helpful and responsive. I loved the whole experience.
