I spent 2 weeks at this pleasant apartment set in a quiet courtyard away from traffic and street noises. The area is nice and full of cafés, little shops, restaurants, fresh produce markets and supermarkets. All you need is in a small radius. Situated close to 2 U-Bahn lines (U6 and U7), the apartment is conveniently located to have easy access to all Berlin's points of interest. The U7 bring us directly to the new BER airport in less than one hour.
The apartment is nicely designed and offer most of necessities but some minor details could be improved. Because there is no oven, a small microwave/convection oven and possibly a toaster would be very appreciated. The storage of plates, glasses, cups, pots and pans and other articles should be revisited to make it more user friendly. It seems to me that the kitchen is in need of some ''love''!
Because of the time of the year, the morning brightness wasn't an issue but darker blinds would a nice touch for people like me easily awakened by sunlight in the morning.
On the other hand, being in a courtyard makes for a very quiet and peaceful place!
Jan was the perfect host and, because he lives next door, he was always readily available when I had questions or requests. The apartment had temporary heating issues and Jan immediately supplied an electric radiator waiting for the repair of the main heating system. He is the ultimate problem solver!
In conclusion, a nice and bright apartment in a quiet neighborhood that has a lot to offer!
