Heiko's place was just as great as was described and photographed. Super convenient to public and regional transportation (just across the street). The neighborhood was great and offered distinct differences each way you turned (literally). If you walked out the front gate you were on a busy, bustling street with the train, pharmacy, grocery store etc. If you went out the back gate, you were on a quiet, leafy street with little restaurants, independent boutiques and outdoor beer gardens. Take the time to explore Prenzlauer Berg! Our one regret was that we didn't spend enough time in our own neighborhood. we were a group of 5 women traveling for a friend's 50th birthday and in Berlin for a full week. Heiko's apartment provided plenty of closet space, which was great since we all over packed; plenty of fresh towels ( we never ran out); an amazing hair dryer (LOL); and two great bathrooms with plenty of space for us all to get out the door in the morning. There was a coffee maker and an espresso maker, and with the grocery store nearby and a generous size fridge, we ate breakfast at home each morning. a couple of helpful things if you stay here...don't panic when you see these huge windows with no window treatments. There are exterior metal blinds that descend and block out all the light which was great. Be careful though as they are so effective, you have no idea of the time of day (we overslept frequently). the light switches and switches for the blinds are very confusing and you never know which one you are turning on or off. they could really benefit from being labeled. The two sofa beds upstairs were the same as the beds in the downstairs bedrooms. I'm assuming the only reason you can call it a bedroom is that it had no door or closet and it's more of a loft. We treated it as a bedroom. The mattresses are VERY firm and they are all the same so there is no relief for someone needing a softer mattress. The couch is very comfortable and our friend who needed a softer mattress slept there very comfortably. There is an INCREDIBLE roof deck (with a grill) and two smaller balconies. Unfortunately for us, it was cold and rained frequently so we couldn't benefit from this amazing amenity. Heiko was always quick to respond to our questions and checking out was a breeze. We would go back in a heartbeat!
