The geographical location of the apartment is excellent. Really great for transport links, close to Mauer park, close to a memorial exhibition on a section of the Berlin Wall, great cafes and restaurants all around. Unfortunately, the nightlife goes on until around 3am and the apartment is directly over a restaurant with outside seating and opposite another one. It was hot so we had to have the windows open. There is also a fire station on the street and the engines sound their sirens just as they pass the apartment. We had to buy earplugs. It was a great apartment but the noisiest I have ever stayed in. Probably ok if you don't need the windows open but for me, earplugs were a must. very clean apartment and great communication with Martina who waited for us to arrive late in the evening. good facilities in the apartment; things like kitchen towel and cling film are much appreciated.
