I spent 3 months in this lovely apartment. I recommend it highly, but be aware there are step in the apt and a number of steps up to the apt. It is excellent for a single person and certainly fine for two. The kitchen is well stocked but the space is a bit cramped -- and with so many great places to eat close, who cares! Always more than enough hot water and heat. Bed is OK, if you have a bad back and need a very firm bed, think twice. The neighborhood is fantastic and the proximity to three Ubahn stations is terrific. Walking along the canal is wonderful. Gegor was always ready to assist and most helpful. Most importantly, he helped carry down my three suitcases when I was leaving early on a Sat morning and not feeling strong enough to do so myself. He invited me in for wine twice and other times I was not able. He travels alot, but even when away is able to respond to any inquiry. Both he and the apartment get five stars. Yes, there are always small problems and odd noises in the night, such as sirens from amublances (otherwise very quiet) but you cannot beat this place and location if you want to experience a great Berlin neighborhood. Gregor certainly made the place even more attractive. He brought in an extra desk when my wife stayed, as we both were working at times from the apartment. WIFI was excellent and reliable. On weekends some noise from children playing outside the building, if that is the kind of thing that disturbs you, it made little matter to me. The window in the roof is delightful when in bed -- in summer, just bring some blinders if light disturbs you. In short -- higly recommeded.
