Ivos apartment is fantastic in so many ways. Ivos himself is very personable and helpful he shared the history of his experience regarding living in East Berlin and when the wall fell - quite interesting! The apartment was sparkling clean and Ivos provided so many things! Such as beer, water, cereal and coffee. There were ample towels. The shower water pressure was great with plenty of hot water and the WiFi was fast and dependable. The underground was quite close as well as Alexi station a 10 minute walk away with Alexa shopping mall and so many cafes etc nearby. I believe the building is typical of East Berlin so you’re know living a piece of history being there. There is a small convenience store nearby. I would stay there if ever in Berlin again.
