The Atelier is located on the ground floor on a main but very quiet street, 2 1/2 blocks from a large grocery store Ekeda and 3 blocks from the Birkenstrasse U station and a 20 minute walk to the Berlin Central train station so it is very convenient for food and transportation. We were 6 seniors using the four bedrooms, two bathrooms and one of the two kitchens with the long dining room table being a comfortable and flexible place to eat and work at - some bedrooms have a bit of noise from the central courtyard and some bedroom walls do not reach the ceiling so may not be totally sound proof but these are minor inconveniences. The hosts were fairly quick to respond with answers to questions and the check in went well eventhough neither the host nor their designated contact was available. The bedding and towels are adequate but the kitchen could use more glasses and cups. The nespresso coffee machine takes capsa capsules that can be purchased from Ekeda. Neither the stove nor the washer have instructions so be prepared to take time to figure out how they work. There are several restaurants on Birkenstasse as well as take out donar street vendors for delicious quick bites. The Markethalle is also just a few blocks (6) away but it doesn't open until 9:00 a m. The neighbourhood is working class and the streets are fairly busy up to 11:30 so it is a safe area to walk in at night; there is a light switch to the left of the apartment main door and one in the hallway outside the apartment door to make night entry easier to see. The heat in the apartment seems to be pre set but we found it very well regulated for our stay in March when the weather was near 0 Celsius much of the time.
