We could not have been happier with our stay here. Our 21st floor apartment gave us a view of Berlin that rivaled the view from the Reichstag. It is one block from the train station& a grocery store & 2 blocks from Alexanderplatz. We walked to Museum Island and one evening walked to Brandberg Tor. It is ideally located. The apartment was very neat and clean and we had everything we needed. The kitchen was equipped well and we were able to make some meals there. The host was kind and communicated well. She helped us to learn how to get from the airport to the apartment and then there was someone there waiting to give us the key. Some may prefer a quieter environment, but we loved the convenience of being close to the train and all the activity and had no trouble sleeping. If ever we are fortunate enough to return to Berlin this would be our first choice to stay.
