What a wonderful place! It is one of those beautiful Berlin apartments with high, moulded ceilings and beautiful stucco. The apartment itself is very spacious and has a great layout, with the bedroom towards the quiet courtyard and the living room (with balcony) towards the street. Even during the hottest summer days, it stayed fairly cool inside - a big plus during steamy Berlin summer days. The furnishing are tasteful and practical and you'll find anything you need (or you can reach out to the hosts who are always willing to provide anything that's not already there). The hosts are a wonderful family who live just above. They are very responsive and helpful and just genuinely want to make sure that you enjoy your stay. The location is great: It is in a more quiet part of Charlottenburg, just a round the corner from Lietzensee (great for walks, playgrounds, soccer, basketball, table tennis...), but also close to busses and the U2 subway, which easily connects you with every other part of Berlin. There is a supermarket across the street, which is open until 11:30pm, so you don't have to go far for a late-night snack. But there are also lots of restaurants, cafes, and other stores nearby. My family and I stayed for nearly 5 weeks for work and fun and very much enjoyed the place and the hosts! I highly recommend this apartment and hope to come back some time myself!
