This is my second stay at Gerhard’s wonderful place. My visit this time coincided with a brief heat wave with temperatures reaching 38o but the apartment was blissfully cool.

The apartment is on a quiet street in a pleasant neighborhood near Schöneberg, with easy access via the S-Bahn and bus lines to everywhere I wanted to go in Berlin. The place itself is very clean and nicely furnished, the bed comfortable, and the wi-fi l fast and problem-free.

Gerhard was a thoughtful host, discretely messaging me from time to time to see if everything was ok (it was) and if needed anything (I didn’t—the place is well-equipped, even for extended stays) and to share tips on places to eat in the area (he had also left a booklet with useful info about the apartment and neighborhood).
