The apartment is brand new and very nice. It is a loft-style conversion featuring high ceilings, floor-ceiling windows etc., very tastefully decorated, providing unique experience of living in Berlin's neighbourhood of Kreuzberg.

The area is conveniently covered by Berlin's subway (U1), by which one can reach Berlin's top destinations within minutes, but the neighbourhood itself offers buzzling city life of coffee houses, restaurants, bars etc. in an attractive, post-industrial environment.

Alex was very helpful, providing advise around what to visit both locally and in Berlin in general (being able to adjust to the Easter's season and weather conditions).

I would definitely recommend staying at Alex's place.
