We enjoyed our stay in Brants appartment immensly. I had a good feeling about the place from the start. Brant was always fast and very helpful when responding to my many questions. He was also kind to change his plans to accomodate my late ( 3 hours overdue!) arrival. The apartment turned out to be exactly as pictured (the picture of the second bedroom is missing, but is just as beautiful as the other rooms). I loved the numerous and unique artwork on the walls and the beautiful stylish furnishing of all rooms. Brant has a great taste. The appartment is very spacious and well kept.
We were two mums with our two teenaged kids. There was more that enough space for all of us. And the place can easily accomodate another 2 people on the comfortable sleeping sofa in the lounge. There is also enough privacy for all since the two bedrooms and the lounge area can be closed. The kitchen is also beautifully furnished, large and well equipped with everything we needed. It had a high table and stools were we chatted away in the evenings. The kids were happy about the large and easy to use televison.
Thanks to the many windows, most are from floor to ceiling, the appartment was light and airy. A blessing in the summer heat of Berlin. We could cool down the appartment easily.
Brant even gave us his bike for our stay, which was really great. There is also a Call a bike (DBahn) just around the corner, where we could get the other 3 bikes we needed. The location is absolutely central. With our bikes we were in Prenzlauer Berg, Kreuzberg, Berlin Mitte or Friedrichshain under 15 Min. There is also a great spot not far from Brants place called Arena Badeschiff. It is a swimming pool within the river spree where we had a lot of fun with our kids.
The appartment block is beautiful and well kept as well. It has two elevators, so there is no need to climb stairs. The view out of the appartment is on a huge tree and a magnificent fountain. Shopping facilites were within 5 min. distance.
Brant, thanks a lot for the wonderful stay in your place. You are a great host. We are sure to be back ;-)
