We visited Berlin at Christmas time in 2014. The apartment was great. We were two families with small kids and there was still enough room to fit the third family if needed. Philip met us at the entrance and warmly welcomed although we were slightly ahead of the check-in time. He gave us a lot of details about the neighborhood which is also great. There are a lot of different small restaurants around, a small part just opposite the entrance, small supermarkets and there was also a great small Christmas market nearby with the excellent gluwine. We really enjoyed our stay there.
