This apartment is Airbnb at its best. It’s an actual family home, idiosyncratic and full of character. The roof deck, complete with elegant planters, has a great 360 degree view and is amazingly calm, quiet, and private. The full-floor apartment has long sunny terraces facing southwest and southeast, with remote-controlled awnings, more planters, and good views. There were smaller terraces in the back of the apartment facing north. The apartment is close to Arkonaplatz and the Mauerpark, transit, groceries, restaurants, etc. Arrival and departure were seamless. There’s an excellent guidebook (with photos) for the apartment and even an accompanying video. Appliances were thoughtfully labelled to show you the steps you could follow to use them. During my August stay for one week, I never needed to use the air conditioners, but it was nice to know they were there. I would very happily return.
