Walking into the apartment was a wonderful surprise. It's huge. There is so much space it's wonderful. The room we were allotted, there are more than one, was great for my husband and myself. Peter went through great lengths to explain all the nitty gritty of the apartment, in terms of what we can find where. Essentially the couple Vera and Peter are generous to the core. We had a drawerful of tea bags we could use, fresh ground coffee at our disposal, a guest fridge to be able to store our supplies, no restrictions on what crockery or cutlery we could use, and making sure that we availed of the best spot in the house to have breakfast. We had good conversations with them and they were very helpful with information about what we could see in the city and how we could get there and also some of the best places to eat our favourite foods. Peter is very hands on, has amazing energy, given his age and keeps the apartment spic and spam.
The neighbourhood is also great. the apartment is right in the middle of Görlitzer Park on the one side and the promenade of the Paul Lincke Ufer on the other. Public transportation is a bit of a walk away, but hey Berlin is a city where you walk. All in all it was a really memorable stay and this apartment would be my favourite go to place in all my subsequent visits. Thank you so much Peter and Vera.
