The apartment worked very well for two small families vacationing together. This was a sightseeing trip and the apartment provided a home base for a group that walked over 50 kilometers in four days and appreciated having a place to call home. Check-in went smoothly and each couple had their own bedroom, each teenage boy had a private space, and each family had their own bathroom. Even with all of us showering we never ran out of hot water and all of the beds were comfortable – especially the sofa beds! – and everyone slept great. The first night we walked down to the Brandenburg Gate – it was completely doable - but the rest of the time we rode bus 123 to the main train station and then headed from there to our intended destination. The walk to the stop for bus 123 was quite close, and the main train station is only a short ride away. The locally owned and operated Italian restaurant across the street from the apartment provided a delicious and relaxing meal on our final evening in Berlin.
