Before we left and during our stay, Ute was extremely quick to answer questions and provide clear directions from the airport and useful check-in information. His apartment set the bar high for the rest of our 3-week trip in its cleanliness, quietness, and spaciousness. Even a family would not have trouble spreading out here. The kitchen has a large dining area. The living room is large as is the bedroom. Plenty of cabinet, shelf, wardrobe, and drawer space is available for even a lengthy stay. So many places we have stayed, we have struggled with low lighting and few electrical outlets. Not here. Lighting is excellent, and So. Many. Outlets! The kitchen is well-equipped with utensils, dishes, and cookware. Aside from salt, sugar, and oil, however, you will need to provide all food, even coffee and tea. The mattress is very comfortable. The modern shower has excellent water pressure and is conveniently separated from the rest of the bathroom. Be sure to bring your own shampoo and soap. Finally, we made repeated use of the transit system, so being close to NordBahnhof station was excellent. Don’t miss the Berlin Wall Memorial, which is very close. Thanks for a great stay, Ute!
