Highly recommended for a longer stay in Berlin when you are looking for a charming retreat from the hustle bustle of Berlin over the roofs if the city.
Location:
Not in the middle of everything but still central enough and well connected with public transport to be everywhere in a decent time. 10 min walk to the U-Bahn station. The neighborhood is very authentic and not affected by the hype as other places in Berlin: It’s original, relaxed and calm. Best turkish and arabic food in the streets near by.
The Apartment:
Rainer has an eye for detail and a very unique and beautiful taste. Nice Furniture and many small things make you not feel like being in an airbnb but living in your own flat with many windows and a very nice and light atmosphere. Highlight is the terrace with view on trees and lots of sky. You should at least enjoy one evening here to enjoy sunset! It was really quite and there is no noise from the streets or from bars and restaurants so you can have a very good sleep.
Room to improve:
Despite everything you’ll need for a longer stay is basically there, you cannot use many things without shopping basic first: I needed to buy stuff like tabs for the dishwater machine, kitchen paper, olive oil to cook and some more. The problem here: It’s only possible to buy larger sizes, so I ended up paying a lot of money for only using sth. once or twice.
As I left these things there, it’s now stashed up, but I recommend to take care for at least a few basics to be around. This would be just so more convenient.
Also missing was a shower curtain in the bath tube: You wether need to sit down for your shower or the whole floor will be wet afterwards.
The pillows in the bad room were too small for my taste.
The washing machine was not working when I was there but Rainer wanted to fix that.
Nonetheless I’m giving five stars for the stay as this is an amazing flat after all and communication with Rainer went just great.
