According to previous arrangement, we were just going to drop our luggage and then explore the neighbourhood, since we would arrive a bit before check in time, BUT when we got there early, we were allowed to check in, settle and relax. Tom showed us around the apartment, which looks exactly the same as the photos; gave us some information about the area and the key. Arzu and Tom were great hosts; from the menus from restaurants in the area on the cupboard and various sight-seeing pamphlets and books all available; which they send in the confirmation email too. The apartment is close to public transport and it does not take long to get into the city centre. The neighbourhood is safe and we loved the fact that there was a playground just across the street for our little. They supplied us with a camping bed for baby and a stroller, less things to lug around the airport. We enjoyed our time staying at this apartment while seeing Berlin. This is definitely a place I would recommend to a friend if they ever have to stay in Berlin. Thanks Arzu and Tom
