This is the second time we have stayed in Javier's apartment. It is ideally situated for exploring Berlin, and is very well furnished and set up, and is very comfortable. The apartment is very quiet and peaceful. We appreciated the balcony during the hot weather. There is a large supermarket a few minutes down the road, and many nice restaurants and bars nearby. We walked to most places, but there are two underground stations within a few minutes walk. There are good maps and guidebooks left in the flat, which is helpful. Javier is very friendly.
