Excellent place, excellent location. Everything is sparkling new and it has the best shower in Europe. Just plan on bringing earplugs. The street and the businesses are the best. The time of year we visited it was just getting warm so we wanted to keep the windows open for fresh air. The restaurants go till late and then newborns are brought out to the street (so they can cry) so the other parents can sleep I think. If your up early or just want a cinnamon roll, our niece who is living in Berlin, says the only place she has ever found is a 3 buildings away from here. And the one I got was excellent. The apartment is all new and kept extremely clean. It took a while to figure our way from Shoenefeld Airport using the train and subway but Paul was very understanding and accommodated our delay. This will always be our base when we come back to Berlin. Thanks,
