This apartment was beautifully appointed and maintained. It was spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay, including travel books and an umbrella! The kitchen was well-stocked. Although the apartment is just 5 minutes away from a major artery, it was very quiet. It was hot during our visit, but there was always a nice cross-breeze to help us stay cool. The location was great - 10 minutes from Alexander Platz on the U-bahn, and a 5 minute streetcar ride to the Warschauer S+U station for numerous connections. There were many fine places to eat in the neighborhood - we were there 5 weeks and hardly visited the same restaurant twice. There was grocery shopping and 2 bakeries within a 3 minute walk. We had a great time and would welcome the opportunity to rent this apartment again.
