I’ve got Oliver’s apartment for one week for my dad while he was visiting me in Berlin. In fact I live around myself for already like over 3 years; so I was pretty much confident about my choice — yea it is not that central, but the area is very nice and quite, with all necessary facilities, incl. banks, supermarkets, and the post office. Besides, there is a very good connection to basically any spot in the city (S-Bahn Ring), incl. U7 & U3 lines that take you straight to most amazing, vibrant and diverse parts of Berlin — Kreuzberg, Neukölln and Friedrichshain. So, I think it is a very good deal, especially for those who want to have a proper rest from the city and cherish a good night’s sleep before Berghain Sunday haha (believe me, you would never get some at Oranienstraße).
The flat is amazing! It is very clean and has pretty much everything you might need throughout your stay, incl. washing machine.
Oliver has been very responsive to all of my messages and managed the check-in just perfect (despite quite late hour) — his father Hubertus was there for us to show the flat and explain how things work. In case you are not familiar with the city at all, you will find some Berlin tips and guides on the shelf stand, and the subway map.
My dad was very happy with his stay which is clearly of the biggest importance to me.
Highly recommend!
