The apartment was exactly like the photos. Modern and beautiful; we loved the library. The bathroom was so luxurious and the kitchen was perfectly decorated. The cement sink was an amazing touch. I want one in my home now. The host was so accommodating and answered all of our questions within hours. We were bothered that there was no A/C but thankfully Berlin wasn't hot in the evenings. The neighborhood isn't great for food but there is an amazing park a block away that is great for morning exercise. There is some great food if you cross the river (about 4 or 5 blocks). Grocery store is very close if you want to cook at home. The patio was a dream, we had coffee outside with the plants every morning. The closet's had plenty of space to hang our clothes and the bed was super comfy! The subway is very easy to use and just across the park. We felt so spoiled having our train stop at the park. It made for a romantic walk home every evening.
