Charming, very private apartment in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg

Beautiful apt in a wonderful neighborhood! So many excellent restaurants, shops, cafes, and parks right at the doorstep. Quick access to transportation as well. We will definitely be back!

We did enjoy the stay at the apartment a lot and they are both very gracious and lovely hosts. All went very well, communication was great and promt and they were quite generous. The apartment is wonderful and has a nice personal touch. A few things need a bit of an update - I rented it so we could cook, even though that's madness in Berlin with all the lovely places to eat, but due to dietary restrictions necessary. So I really missed a few things in the kitchen. WiFi worked great but otherwise the technical side is a bit adventurous. But since everything else was so lovely I really think this is just quite a minor point. The art was lovely, we enjoyed exploring it and pondering over the pictures when "home". All in all a great experience and higly recommended.

This was our second stay at this wonderful apartment and should we be fortunate enough to return to this great city we most assuredly would stay here again - if it’s available. The apartment is truly a home with all the charm, comfort and feel of an actual home rather than a corporate apartment dressed up to look like a someone’s home. The kitchen is cozy and perfect for lingering at the table over coffee in the morning or cooking a complete dinner which we did on one evening. The living-room is ideal for winding down with wine in the evening and debriefing the day. The neighborhood is great with many young families, restaurants, bakeries and shops. We particularly liked the Hofbrau Alt Wien almost directly across the street. The Austrian menu was excellent, the portions quite large and the beer superb. But be forewarned - it’s generally packed every night with locals and you would be wise to make a reservation. And of course, the S-Bahn is right at the end of the street making the location very convenient to connections at Alexander Platz and all major attractions in the city. In short, our stay in Berlin was truly enhanced by staying in this wonderful apartment. And we really did feel a part of the neighborhood.

We came to Berlin this September for the Ring Cycle at Staatsoper and settled on this flat initially because of its good transport links. However from the moment we stepped off the M4 tram and turned into the tree lined street with its art deco facades, relaxed cafes and interesting restaurants, bookshop, baker and well stocked corner shop we realised we had fallen on our feet. We took the lift to the 4th floor of a well-appointed art deco block and found the delightful flat that was our home for the next 10 days. This art deco flat was lovely with parquet floors, warm rugs and original art work. The kitchen was well equipped, the bathroom spacious, the bed comfortable and the stair quiet. We started our days with breakfast in the sunshine on the small balcony at the front of the building looking down through the tops of the plane trees and taking in the architectural details of the surrounding buildings. Our hosts were exceptional. They were out of the country at the time but had ensured that the flat had all the comforts we might need with many thoughtful details such as local maps and guide books as well as recommendations for shops, cafes, restaurants, etc. They were also quick and efficient in their response to any difficulties that arose, making clear that their priority was to ensure that our stay was comfortable and hassle free. We found them easy and friendly to communicate with and the fact that they have very good English was an advantage for us too.From this comfortable, secure and elegant base we began our exploration of Berlin. In 10 days we barely scratched the surface, but we will be back.
