We stayed at Christoph’s flat for 5 nights and absolutely loved it! Perfect for a young couple. The flat is spacious and tidy with contemporary design but still some personal touches. Lovely modern bathroom with shower/bath and a washing machine which we didn’t use. The living room and kitchen open onto a terrace with comfy patio furniture that faces an inner courtyard and is south facing, so is quiet and catches the morning/midday sun! The kitchen is small and basic but has everything you need to cook a meal plus a nespresso machine and milk frother which we loved! (However, not even needed as there are countless great cafes within steps!) The bedroom is equally as spacious with a giant super comfy bed, it’s own balcony which faces north and has dark curtains so it stays cool and dark, which was great as we visited during a warm spell. The flat is on the top floor without an elevator, which could be trouble for some, but we enjoyed the exercise!
Christoph was also a fantastic host! He was super accommodating with both our check-in and check-out requests, and was very responsive during the entire booking process, during our stay, and on check out. He is a very friendly and chill person and it was always easy to get in touch with him! He also had great recommendations to help on our arrival- must get the BVG transport app, makes getting around in Berlin a breeze! Thanks Christoph!
To top it all off, the location is excellent! Tons of cafes, bars, restaurants, indie shops, supermarkets (regular, organic, and Turkish!) and street markets all within blocks. The neighborhood has a fun bohemian vibe while still feeling safe even after staying out late. Super close to several u-Bahn stations, easy as pie to get anywhere in the city. 20 min or so to central by public transport. We even explored the neighboring areas of nuekolln and Friedrichshain by foot and on rented bikes! So much to see and do, great base for exploring Berlin as well as just soaking in the vibes of Kreuzberg. We felt like true Berliners, and loved our stay at Christoph’s!
