The apartment and neighborhood were perfect for the two of us and worked well when we had two guests. We felt safe and secure at home and in the neighborhood. We got to experience two very different neighborhoods, Südstern and Kottbusser, and the restaurants, cafés, markets, etc. in each. Convenient to both the U-bahn and S-bahn. 20 minutes by bike to Reichstag; 10 to Tempelhof park. Easy to get anywhere in Berlin. Gregor lives next door but is not at all intrusive, but helpful when needed. It exceeded our expectations in every way!
