We stayed for a month in June, for a period where both of us were remote working.
We chose the apartment because it is spacious, has two desks and great Wi-Fi.
We didn’t know the area beforehand, but were delighted to find lots of useful shops and supermarkets nearby, plenty of nice cafes (try Akazienstraße and the Saturday food market on Winterfeldplatz) and biergartens (Naumann Küche, 2 mins from the apartment) and then great connections to the rest of Berlin via the S bahn and U Bahn. The local Kiez of Rote Insel where the apartment is located has lots of greenery and green spaces in the summer, and we enjoyed exploring this area as much as any other part of Berlin. There are also great train links out to Wannsee for lake swimming and Grünewald Forst for hiking and biking.
We also rented city bikes for the month from Swapfiets and there are easy cycle routes to and from parks such as Tempelhof Airfeld, and it is easy to cycle to popular areas such as Kreuzberg and Mitte on cycle paths.
The host’s son Felix greeted us soon after we arrived, and was very friendly and helpful with our questions.
The stay at their apartment was very comfortable and set us up very well for a lovely month in Berlin, we would happily stay again and recommend.
