We dealt with Natalie for the duration of our stay, the daughter in law of the hostess.
Natalie very kindly allowed us to check in near midnight as our flight landed in Berlin late. We were further delayed as the train we expected to catch was supposedly finished for the night but Natalie still waited for us and was very quick to respond to my emails.
When we arrived at the apartment, Natalie welcomed us and gave us a quick tour around the apartment and was kind enough to write us a list of nearby shops, restaurants etc.
The apartment was absolutely stunning - newly refurbished, very clean featuring a great little kitchen, bathroom, loft bed & sofa bed - ideal for a couple. The Wi-Fi was great and there's a nice sized television mounted to the wall.
Everything you'd need for a short stay was provided including towels, tea, coffee & even some bonus ham in the fridge!
The loft bed was very comfortable, if not a little testing to get in and out of. It's worth nothing that the bed is essentially 2 singles mattresses pushed together so beware of the crack if you're trying to cuddle up :) There are also very convenient shelves, light controls & power points up stairs for charging devices.
The flooring on the living area is very pretty, however, I ended up with several splinters in my feet & a very large one through my sock when unfolding the sofa bed - so it might be wise to bring some slippers with you.
The bathroom is amazing with a brilliant bath & shower, although be warned, the shower will spill out onto the main bathroom floor so you'll need to use the mop to dry it up after you.
The area the apartment is in is very quiet which we liked. There aren't many pubs, shops or restaurants near by but you are a very short walk to the U-Bahn station which gives you very fast and frequent access to more lively parts of town.
Overall, we loved our stay at this apartment and would definitely like to visit it again in the future.
Cheers,
Darren & Gillian
