We rented the apartment for the Berlin marathon and it was more than ideal for sightseeing and perfect for the race! Everything you’d like to see is within walking distance or close to the train. A grocery store was close and the kitchen was fully functional with great views overlooking the city. I would add that the apartment has more than enough room. The loft upstairs is more like a yoga studio and a perfect spot to relax. We regretted missing the museums and hope to return. Berlin is a fantastic place to visit!
