Take the lift up to the sixth floor to the roof top flat and enter Robin’s apartment.
The main space is generous, light and airy, with a textured wooden floor, large plants, and a gallery like feel, with modern art hanging on nearly all of the walls.
This feels like a real person’s home, and has some nice features which make it feel a little bit special - a big, four-person balcony with a view of the famous Berlin TV tower, trees in the yard, and a fascinating look into the windows of Berliners, all around the courtyard.
There is an artistic grey and textured finish to the doors, and the bathroom has a skylight, so it is never truly dark, even with the lights off.
The shower is powerful, everything is there that you would normally want to be provided. And, the flat is quiet at night.
At the end of the street, on Bernauer Strasse, is a small shop for beer, crisps and chocolate. 2 blocks East, is the Denn Biomarkt, with some pricey but good produce: bread, vegetables, meat, wine, etc.
Transport is good and near – There are endless choices – Go to Gesundbrunnen station from the airport and change to the blue, U8 line and take it back to Bernauer Strasse for the quickest journey. Remember, the airport is in zone C, so you will need a €10 ticket, not the usual 2 zone AB day ticket (€8.80).
Overall, a great experience. We recommend staying here.
