The apartment was really great overall. Very modern and in a GREAT location. Good size and filled with light. We are traveling by train as a family of 7 across Europe (kids 12, 10, 8, 6, and 10 months old). Overall very good value.
Loved:
- the modern kitchen and big windows and doors we could open
- the little balcony to drink coffee on a quiet and tree-filled courtyard
- the location was awesome! Easy to get to metro, trams, busses. Quick to get to and from Central Station in Berlin
- so many shops and places to eat in the area, a quick walk to a good downtown grocery store that has long hours (beware, not open on Sunday!)
- great communication by the hosts
Of note:
- if you plan to cook/eat in there are not a lot of pots, pans, dishes, utensils to work with. The ones there are good and the stove/oven/microwave, etc are really nice and new
- not super spacious for a family, but as travelers, we were out most of the time so it didn't bother us
- if you have a toddler that you want a crib, the one they have is really nice, but you can't use it if child is in the moving around stages, only good for up to about 6 months of age (pre sitting up on their own)
