Virginie didn't exaggerate: we DID have the best flat in Neukolln. And Neukolln happens to be - as we see it - the best place to have a home while exploring Berlin. Also, she had a great tip for dining out just around the corner: you should most definitely try Dr. To's: fabulous and a great atmosphere. Reservations are in order. The flat itself was very clean and bright, yet homey and contains all you need to make yourself at home. The bed sleeps excellent (quite important to us). The interiors of the rooms have been done with great care, and a good feeling for style and comfort, even within a small space. The luxury details of fresh white linen and towels and nice soap and some kitchen products were the icing on the cake. We loved staying here for 5 days and would recommend any couple or pair of friends to book this flat. Also: bring or rent bikes to explore Berlin!
