We arrived as planned a bit early in Berlin, and were able to check in at around 3 PM. Luckily we could keep our bags at the reception area, so we could venture out in the streets of Berlin while the apartment was being cleaned. When we received the key, we could enter the place, which turned out to be both bright and spacious. A bit 'pristine', but rather than than lots of personal clutter. Great location close to Brandenburger Tor and the Mohrenstr. metro stop (U2). Everything went smoothly, from booking to check-out!
