Although we arrived early in the morning, several hours before the official check-in time, Yearn went out of his way to get the apartment prepared and ready for us. He greeted us with a big smile and sat down with us to look over a map of Berlin before he left. When we asked if there was an iron in the apartment, he responded that there was none but he went out of his way to get one for the apartment just two days later.

The neighborhood was exactly what we were hoping for: quiet and safe, but a 10-minute tram or 30ish-minute walk to the center of town. Coffee shops and restaurants abound, with kids riding their bikes to school everywhere.

The apartment itself was beautiful, with a big bedroom, a well-kept bathroom, and a kitchen with a lovely balcony on which we ate breakfast every morning.

Truly a top-rate apartment. For the price, the location and amenities can't be beat. Strongly recommended.
