The apartment is on the edge of a cool/nice neighbourhood - it's about 10 mins walk from trendy shops, cafes, etc. It has great views over the Mauerpark and is very light and very quiet. It is quite big, with plenty of places to sit. There is also an outside terrace. The decor has lots of personality, with some quirky touches. There is a supermarket very close by and plenty of places to eat 5 mins walk away, particularly good Vietnamese places. The kitchen was reasonably well equipped for cooking. It snowed during our stay but we were warm. The bathroom is massive and has a very good shower and bath. The listing description says 2 bathrooms, but we only found one. There are two subway/rail stations in easy walking distance and getting to the centre was easy - the apartment is in any case pretty central. Internet was good. Bathroom was very clean, rest of flat pretty clean. The only downsides for us were that the bed was not as shown in the photos - it was in the open plan living room, with the bedroom having been converted to an office/storeroom. So it was more like a studio plus bathroom. Elen had told us the bed had been moved, but I had not realised it was no longer in the bedroom. Also what wasn't mentioned is that it had been moved to a futon base, which I found too hard to be comfortable. Depends what you are used to. The flat is also a big walk up, so you need to be fit, but once you get to the top there is no-one above you and we could not hear any neighbour noise at all. There are no blinds/curtains anywhere in the flat (including the bathroom), so in the summer you might need an eye mask. On our first day the front door key snapped in the lock and Elen was helpful and responsive by phone in suggesting how to fix it. Overall we had a really nice stay and would recommend it for a couple or a family.
