This is such a great apartment. It is very comfortable and well presented. The loft area accommodated our children well, acting as a second bedroom. This feature was hard to find in Berlin at a reasonable price. The apartment offered all the essentials necessary to be self sufficient with meals at home, if desired. It includes a dishwasher too. Unfortunately there was no washing machine, however Simone did point out the closest Laundromat for us.
The apartment is well located near both the Trams and U-Bahn to easily get yourself around town. Alexanderplatz is about a 20 minute walk, where you are close to a lot of the main sites of Berlin.
Simone is a fantastic host! She was easily contactable via email and responded within a couple of hours. Within the apartment she has done up an information booklet to help guests get the most out of the apartment, the area and Berlin in general. We were there for a longer time (over two weeks) and Simone kindly offered to change the linen and towels half way through our stay.
We were very impressed with both Simone and her apartment and highly recommend staying there when visiting Berlin.
