The location is the best aspect, very close to many historic Berlin sights, including the Brandenburg Gates and the Reichstag. Unfortunately, the apartment is very basic, especially for the price. Very little furniture in the living area and what is there is not in good condition. No rugs. This is not a warm home, but an apartment with 3 double beds, a kitchen, one bathroom and a washer but no dryer. Very noisy, as it is on the road that leads to the gates. We were there over New Years Eve. The host was very friendly and the checkin was seamless.
