This apartment really added to our Berlin experience. It is a stately building and the flat has wonderfully high ceilings, old wooden solid doors and the rooms are big. It is described on the website as "elegant" and we would agree with that. We were there with German friends and they traveled up from Detmold and did the liasing with the owner, Katrin. As a result, the picking up of the keys and gaining access to the flat all went very smoothly. The area is cute with lots of restaurants and bars, although the street in which the apartment is located is very quiet (apart from the ringing of the church bells, which we heard clearly in the main bedroom but our friends did not in the front bedroom). There is a local U-Bahn station and this enabled us to get around the city very easily. There is also a local, large supermarket 5 mins walk away. If we had any reservations about the apartment it was that the second shower room/toilet is much smaller than the main one and rather dark with no windows to the outside. The kitchen is also quite small and basic but this was not an issue for us as we ate out all the the time apart from breakfast. We would recommend this apartment to others - yes!
