What more can I say-I want that apartment! And Lisa's design talent, wow! This was my first Airbnb experience and it did not disappoint.

The 'black box of recommendations' led us to the most impressive flea market (more of a festival!) I have ever seen, and right across the street at that. It's apparently every Sunday (we came in May) so make sure to hang around if your trip is flexible! Within 5 minutes walking (tops) you have a plethora of cool restaurants, bars, and cafés. And if you want to do all the touristy things, like we did, the apartment is located close to a tram and a subway, both of which come about every 5 minutes to wisk you away to wherever you want. It takes about 10 mins to get to the main station, for example.

For an American, the towels are veeery stiff, and a bit small, but as I understand, this is a 'German thing' that you also find in typical homes, so I took it as part of the experience. :) Also, the apartment building has no elevator, so stay away if you have bad knees...or an incredibly heavy suitcase and no help. Although, as another reviewer mentioned, the neighbors were really nice, so they would probably help if asked.

Overall, fabulous! Everything was clean, stylish, and made us feel like Berliners-or at least that we wanted to be. Would definitely stay here again!!
