The flat is really clean, and quiet, as it’s in the back away from the street. Everything we needed was supplied, good storage, masses of towels, comfy beds, shower gel, dishwasher and washing machine powder. Lots of different tea bags, coffee and coffee machine. A welcome bottle of wine and biscuits. Even spare batteries for the TV remote. And a sewing kit! The flat is bright and airy, although it’s a semi basement. It felt very secure. The furnishings are comfortable and good standard. Fixtures and white goods all seemed new and good quality. Everything worked. Good WiFi. It’s all open plan, so effectively one room, with big kitchen area, dining area, and bedroom, TV and sofa area. It worked fine for us. Maybe better for 2 than 4.
The location in Kreuzberg is fantastic. Just round the corner is Bergmannstrasse, which has an amazing variety of places to eat, and some interesting shops. Walk one block to Marheineke Markthalle, the most wonderful indoor food market, with everything we wanted, lots of organic stuff. Also near is the U bahn stop Gneisenaustrasse, from which you can quickly get to the city centre. Also in the neighbourhood: lots of bars, vinyl record stores, vintage clothes shops. Lots of trees line the streets, really beautiful.
