We really enjoyed our stay at Wilfried’s place. It’s on the top floor of a building that borders Görlitzer Park in Kreuzberg, and you have the most beautiful view of the city overlooking the park. The apartment is clean and has everything you need, including an impressively equipped kitchen (stovetop, dishwasher, sink, refrigerator, espresso machine, coffee press, dishes, spices, cleaning supplies) for such a compact space.
The bathroom is very nice, with a full tub and separate shower, and you can also open the bathroom door for air or the pretty view. Between the bathroom and the main living space there is a washing machine (including detergent and an ironing board) and a closet with hangers and multiple shelves. There was plenty of room to store the clothing we’d brought for one month. I’ll admit I was a little skeptical about the couch that converted into a bed, but it was very comfortable (and Wilfried offered to wash our bedding as needed, which was very helpful) and fit two people easily.
The apartment also comes with thoughtful touches like scissors, a sewing kit, tape, a drying rack with clothespins, lint rollers, a hair dryer, several towels, and a TV (not easy to find in all Airbnbs).
We love the neighborhood and enjoyed being so close to all the wonderful restaurants (particularly along the canal), bars, and of course the vibrant Görli Park. It’s an easy walk to the train station so you can get anywhere in the city quickly. There’s no shortage of things to do in Kreuzberg or Neukölln and we enjoyed discovering new places every time we walked in a different direction.
Wilfried was easy to communicate with and always responded quickly. He and his wife live below the apartment.
We highly recommend Wilfried’s apartment and hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
