Rainer ia a great host. He was there at check in to go over everything in the apartment, which we really appreciated. This home was great for our family of 4. The house is very clean and welcoming. Kitchen has everything I needed to cook dinner for my family. There is no freezer, which means no ice (we are Americans so we love ice). WiFi, dishwasher and washing machine works well. Street can be noisy when windows are open on Friday night. (We are here in July and it is hot so we had to have windows open to be comfortable.) Friday night was the only night that was noisy. We stayed 5 days and all other nights were quiet outside. Highly recommend and would stay again next time we come to Berlin.
