We found the flat with ease from Tegel airport, even more quickly than expect. Soon after our late afternoon check in, we explored the neighborhood--good! Great restaurants are close (april, bejte ethiopian, baharat falafel, (farther off in bikini berlin) SUPER shop/eat/meet. Big grocery stores are close--kaiser, lidl.
And the cozy, well appointed flat was perfect for down-time. Beds are comfortable. The high ceilings of this lovely old building accentuate the simple elegance of the decor.
We were quite pleased with our "home" for the week.
The bus, tram, metro are easy to reach from the flat. The metro (U2) was closed in some stations, so we searched for other options. We found bus M85 the most direct to potsdamer pl./reichstag and could see some off the city as well.
