The apartment is quite large and has a very nice view of the park (which is NOT shown in the pics supplied) - so better than actually appears. The apartment is very nicely appointed with multiple types of coffee and tea. The apartment was also very clean with lots of towels and blankets; the apartment is a little outdated but that fits in with the East Berlin theme. The area is indeed quiet for a nice break from the busy Berlin city life. Benjamin was also quite accommodating in allowing us an early checkin from our overseas flight.
