The flat is on the 3rd floor of the building in a quiet courtyard. There is a lift, but there are still a few steps to get inside the apartment from it. The balcony catches the afternoon sun which is lovely. The apartment is clean and very well located which makes it perfect for a weekend visit. It had everything we needed. Tanja was incredibly helpful by allowing us a lot of flexibility with our check in/out.
It’s a 5 min walk to a couple of supermarkets, the bigger being Edeka which is very useful.
It took me half an hour on the bus from Tegel airport (15 mins walking but I could’ve taken another bus closer). It’s 7 mins walking from U Birkenstraße or 8 mins from S+U Westhafen train stations.
There are also several bike rental shops nearby. However remember most places (including bike rental shops) are closed on Sundays,or may be sold out early on a sunny day! So you might want to consider one of the street bike rental options instead if you’re just there for the weekend-however you’ll need the app & possibly 3G on your phone to use them.
