Brendon's friend Marvin was waiting for us outside the building when we arrived. This made a big difference after a long journey and a long wait for our luggage at the airport. :)

Brendon and Marvin were both responsive and helpful during our stay.

The apartment is on a quiet street in Wilmersdorf with many trees. There's a lovely small park about two minutes' walk from the apartment. It's a nice place to sit in the sun and watch children playing around the fountain. The park is surrounded by shops, including a grocery store and an O2 store at which we bought SIM cards.

Getting to other parts of Berlin via the U-Bahn is quite easy, but keep in mind that the ticket machines do not accept credit cards or notes of denominations greater than 10 euros!
