Strongly recommended. Gili was an exceptional host. At the morning of our arrival in Berlin, Gili met us at the entrance to the building, making check-in very easy and convenient. He was very flexible with us regarding check-in and check-out times, kindly adapting to our schedule. Throughout all our communication, Gili's response was quick and clear, he was also available at all times for any questions. Upon arriving at the apartment, we found clear instructions regarding wi-fi, heating, etc., and he even supplied us with maps of the city & christmas markets (on which we heavily relied). Overall we felt as if Gili was making an above and beyond effort to make our stay convenient and enjoyable.
The apartment itself is very well taken care of, looking exactly like shown in the photos. It was super-clean with well equipped kitchen and bathroom and all functions working properly. It is clear that the apartment is maintained regularly to the very small detail. It is, as the name says, cozy, and warm.
The location of the apartment is also very convenient, 5 minute walk to the U-Bahn station and all the commodities such as a large supermarket and drugstore within a walking distance. The neighborhood itself hosts many cheap and good places to eat. 15 minutes walk will take you to the oranienstrasse area, which is a nightlife (and also daytime) hub with the best bars, restaurants and clubs you can find in the city.
If you ever come to Berlin, do yourself a favor and book at Gili's.
