I definitely recommend this apartment! 10/10
THE PLACE: Super clean, hip and cozy decor, attention to details, modern furniture, big bedroom, good sized bathroom with washer, and big living/dining room, fully equiped kitchen, and a beautiful terrace. Great fast WiFi. The kitchen and bedroom are facing the super nice street in front of the canal, so you see many people strolling, walking their dogs, jogging or in their bicycles. It’s the host’s home, so you feel you’re staying at your friend’s cool apartment. Also, the apartment’s door is right there when you enter the building, so you don’t have to wait for elevators/lifts, walk long hallways or go up many flights of stairs (that worked great when we were outside heading out and realized we forgot something, lol).
THE AREA: Situated in the hippest area of Berlin (my favorite), between Kreuzberg and Neukölln, right in front of the cool canal, with many independent shops, supermarkets, bars, coffee shops, restaurants, and parks around the inmediate area (awesome Görlitzer Park is a 7 min walk). At the same time, the area feels very safe and has a neigborhood vibe (you’ll feel like a local), but with a lot of atmosphere during the day and night. Main avenues are 3-10 away walking.
THE HOST: Super nice and responsive. He follows up with you with messages to know if you need anything. He leaves a lot of cool maps and pamphlets of the best areas of Berlin, as well as a list with his personal recommendations of bars, coffee shops, and restaurants that are around the neighborhood. Checking in and out was super easy.
