This place was exactly as described. A very soothing and quiet retreat overlooking a big garden lot that was very green even in winter. I even saw a marten in the garden, a cute little animal I have never seen before. I came to Berlin to play music and I was very happy with the location. Though the apartment was quiet and secluded, it was a great location for easy access to neighborhoods I was interested in. I can't really speak to public transportation since I mostly used Uber but there are S Bahn, U Bahn and bus stop locations nearby. Martin was responsive and concerned about any issues. Beyond that he was actually just a really nice and kind person. I had issues with the Internet for the first couple weeks so if you have your own mobile hotspot you'll be doing yourself a favor. They seemed to clear up after a while and I learned that this is really something you should expect all over Berlin and other parts of Germany and Europe ( I visited Italy for a few days as well )unless going to a high-speed Internet café and was not a failing of the internet set up at Martins place. You'll find all the necessary items for cooking. This could be a cozy little place for a couple on an adventure. A few small practical things, There are towels provided but they are very stiff and scratchy, which again is common in the area. Most people don't use clothes dryers. If that's important to you, bring your favorite fluffy towel from home. Also, I'm 6 foot one and 200 pounds. I'm not overweight or anything but the shower was a little difficult to navigate because there's a large detachable showerhead in a small shower stall. I probably knocked that thing on my feet at least 10 times while washing my face. Again, not a complaint at all, just something to be aware of. I really have nothing bad to say. It was accurately represented and a warm and comfy haven as the nights grew colder in Berlin. Thank you for opening this little place up to people like me, Martin
