Our stay at Amit's apartment was excellent! Amit was a nice host, he immediately responded all my messages with detailed information. Although we didn't meet him, his friend met us at the apartment and he was so polite. Location was great, the nearest metro station were just 2-3 minutes walking distance. A supermarket and KaDeWe department store is near the metro station. The metro station is a central one, most of the lines pass there so you can directly go most of the places you like. We visited Berlin for Christmas Markets and touristic places on December with our 4-year-old son and Amit's apartment was perfect choice. It was so clean, warm, has all the needed amenities. The neighborhood was so nice, we walked to lots of places, it was easy to come home during the day for some rest as it is so easy to reach. The only hesitation we had was that it is right next to the street, we thought it would be noisy, however it wasn't, it was so quiet. If it was summertime, i guess the balcony would be so great to enjoy. Just some Berlin guide and map can be added to the bookshelf, it can be of help.
