Our second stay in Marcus’s loft was just as we hoped. The apartment is perfect for two guests: beautiful, spacious, clean, and quiet. It’s well heated during the winter months, and has every imaginable amenity (Nespresso, dishwasher, laundry machine/dryer). The location could not be better, within walking distance of Museum Insel and the Hackesche Höfe. For breakfast or brunch, Factory Girl is across the street (and welcomes takeout orders), two great coffee houses are close by in The Barn and Röststätte, and, if you need to run out for a bottle of wine, the friendly and expert staff at Garlipps are right around the corner. Our only regret: we wished we could have spent even more time in our favorite Berlin neighborhood!
