Wonderful apartment, great value, great hosts!
Tom and Arzu’s place is located just steps from the 9 train in a trendy little quarter in Wedding called Sprengelkiez. It’s surrounded by fun bars and restaurants, some of which the hosts helpfully recommended (such as Da Zero — an excellent wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizza joint) and some we discovered on our own (beer-lovers, don’t sleep on Eschenbräu with its lovely terrace, homemade beer and whiskey!).
The apartment itself is comfortable, clean and spacious (just like the photos) was well-stocked with everything we needed to sleep comfortably, take a hot shower after a long day exploring, and cook the odd meal.
I really appreciated the communication from Tom and Arzu, who not only replied to questions quickly but sent along extra helpful info before and during our stay, and gave me a thorough intro to the apartment and the neighborhood at check-in.
Wedding as a neighborhood is *slightly* out of the way of Berlin’s main attractions so if it’s your first time in Berlin or you’re only there for a couple days, factor in spending 20-40 mins on the train to get to the main museums, the east side gallery, bars and nightlight in Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg etc — but given the close proximity to Berlin’s excellent public transit and the fact that we were there for a week, this was no issue at all for us.
I would not hesitate to stay here again!
