This apartment is a very good choice for couples who want to explore the city. Its location was by far the best thing about it! 15 walking distance to Alexander Platz, 15 minutes by tram to Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg and same distance to Mauer park to visit the huge Flea market on Sundays. Not to mention that we had the tram stops on our doorstep! In the neighborhood we could find supermarkets, bakeries and plenty of restaurants and cafes (some of the best in Berlin!) The place was generally clean, safe, we had everything we needed (towels, toilet paper, bed linens etc) and we could cook in the fully equipped kitchen. Last but not least, the host was helpful and answered all our questions. Now, everything was fantastic (and how not be when you're in Berlin 😉) until we lied on the bed at night. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the bed and when we tried to lie the mattress did a big curve in the centre making it impossible for 2 people to sleep. So ,we had to take the mattress out of the bed and sleep on the floor, which was not bad, we slept well at nights, but of course it's not the ideal situation when you're on holiday. If we hadn't had this issue, our stay would have been exceptional. Finally, regarding the noise from the street, I have to say that we didn't have any problem with that. I believe that someone who have lived in a big city wouldn't find this place noisy.
