Ben’s apartment is in an amazing location in the heart of Bergmannkiez, a little area in the ‘Paris’ end of Kreuzberg. So many lovely cafes, shops and restaurants to explore. A short bike ride to Tempelhof airport and a very short walk to public transport.
The apartment itself was very nice with an entrance straight off the street. It was compact but didn’t feel too small for two with lots of luggage. Hydronic heating kept it very comfortable and made drying clothes very easy after using the washing machine included in the bathroom. The bed was reasonably comfortable - could definitely use some new pillows though.
The bathroom was amazing and the big walk in shower was such a joy after travelling around and staying in various places with tiny showers.
The kitchen was enough to prepare breakfast but possibly too small for anything else and there weren’t any sharp knives/bread knives available.
The place was generally very clean especially the bathroom. The plate ware and cutlery was all a bit dirty and had to be rewashed before use but no big deal.
After staying in various other places on this trip we felt that it lacked some of the warm touches found elsewhere - cafe/restaurant recommendations, locations of useful things thing supermarkets etc.
I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to explore this area of Berlin- can’t stress enough how good the location was. I would stay here again for sure. Thanks Ben.
