The apartment is incredible! and Stephan exceeded our expectations.

Stephan was very attentive and responsive to our endless inquiries, provided us with a local cell phone and a hot spot that we could take with us around town and connect to the internet from wherever we were. He provided us with a cleaning service mid way into our stay, lots of tips about the neighborhood and the city and really went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and pleasant.

The apartment is located in a wonderful part of Mitten. Very young and happening. Lots of coffee shops and clubs within a couple blocks (if you stay make sure to checkout the ones behind the apt building), yet the noise level in the apartment is very low. We were able to walk daily to all the 'tourist attractions', everything was either within 30min walk or we took one of the subway stations that were nearby (a U2 station is located less than a block away - Senefeldstasse). Three grocery stores within the block one of them accross the park so really steps away.

The apartment building is magnificent. It is a renovated East Berlin building, high ceiling and mainly occupied with young Berliners in their thirties (not a rental building). We met two of the neighbors, both were very friendly. Some comments talk about the construction noise. It is true that there is some construction in the neighborhood, however the noise never started before 8am and never in the evening, and really was a non-issue for us.

The apartment is beautiful. Well equipped with all new appliances and furniture. If you stay, the oven doubles as a microwave (took us a couple days to realize that). We found in the kitchen some basic ingredients such as tea, sugar, condiments etc to get us started, soap and laundry detergent for our use, extra sheets and towels and really everything one might need while on vacation.

Highly recommended!
