Carsten's apartment is great and worked out perfectly for my wife and me.
- The apartment was clean, well-appointed and the perfect size for two of us.
- Communication and coordination with Carsten was easy and prompt.
- The location was convenient. A short walk to either Südkreuz Bahnhof or Julies Leber Brücke got us to the trains that took us to the center of Berlin. Three stops to Brandenburg Tor.
Carsten was actually out of town when we were there, but it didn't seem to affect anything as far as our stay was concerned. He coordinated with Mrs. Heidi to meet us and assist with our check-in. She was great. I speak a little German and she speaks a little English so everything we needed was explained fully. Our texts to Carsten were in English and worked he responded very quickly.
The photos of the apartment are accurate. The kitchen is roomy. The living area is compact but not at all cramped. The view from the walk-out patio is expansive. Be aware that the apartment is on the 5th floor and there is no elevator. We got our stair-climbing workout for sure.
We highly recommend the apartment. We would not hesitate to book it again if we are once again in Berlin.
