My mother and myself had a pleasant 3-night stay at Virginijus' apartment in Berlin in May 2013. The apartment has been modernised through a recent refurbishment work which cleverly preserved certain original features of this period apartment building, like the beautiful original floorboard and window frames. The interior of the apartment, from its decorations right through to its furniture and fittings has been carefully chosen and assembled to give a very comfortable and cosy living experience. Situated on the second floor of a four-floors apartment blocks constructed around a square with a courtyard in the middle, there are plenty of shops along the same street, a mixture of newsagents selling tickets and tobaccos, cafes and restaurants ranging from Chinese, Italian and Turkish food, grocery stores and most importantly, there is a U-Bahn station 2-minutes walk away from the apartment i.e. the Amrumer Strabe Station which conveniently will connect you to the Berlin City Centre within a few underground train stops. Just as anywhere else in Berlin, there are plenty of people from many nationalities around this area, so it feels less intimidating for foreign visitors to stay around here. The host, Virginijus, has been a fantastic host right from the start. Communications is always prompt and polite both through emails and face-to-face interactions. Virginijus has also kindly accepted our request for a late evening check-in, and check-out was made even simpler through a key drop-in procedure. All in all, we felt very comfortable throughout the stay at this apartment in Berlin, thanks to its clean and high standard interior, its good location and its reliable host who maintains a professional business-like approach to the deal but has also been friendly and informal during communications at the same time. We therefore, highly recommend this apartment and the host to anyone wishing to visit Berlin in the future.
