Werner is the epitome of a great host! He obviously loves Berlin and was willing to share insight on the history, places to see, and how to best enjoy the city. The apartment offered plenty of space for our party of 7 and the 3 kids loved having the playground and soccer court right outside.
We came for the Berlin marathon - and would stay here again in a heartbeat! It as walking distance to the expo and our family was able to walk to the course for spectating.
A lot is easily accessible from the apartment: U-bahn stations (5 minute walk), bus stops, grocery stores, a pharmacy, and restaurants (I would highly recommend the Vietnamese place on the corner!)
For those that are light sleepers - note that the apartment is ground level and there is a bar nearby, so there can be some noise at night. Nothing that earplugs didn't help with.
Vielen Dank Werner!
