My husband and i recently visited Berlin for the first time and also it was our first time taking an apartment like this. I must admit i was a little nervous about the check in process , getting keys etc. Well there was no need to be nervous. It all worked out brilliant.
Firstly i received a message that we could check in earlier than planned which was great as we had been traveling overnight. We were met at the check in point by a very nice young man named Greici, who then proceeded to show us our allocated apartment which was in a building across the road from the check in point.
He explained about the keys ( 2 sets) , the elevator etc. we were on the 7th floor. Beautiful big bright room with big bed and lockers at one end and a living dining area at the other. the kitchen is compact but fully functional and very well equipped, toaster, kettle, full hob, full oven fridge. Plenty of pots and pans and crockery. I was not planning on cooking too much, just breakfast. I was on my holidays. i was surprised and pleased that they even provided wash up liquid and dish towels, tea, coffee, pepper, salt and even some toiletries in the bathroom.
Bathroom was bright and clean. Everything was lovely and clean bed linen, towels etc.
We had a great view from our balcony. This apartment is also in a great location. There is a very well stocked supermarket just down the street and it is within walking distance of Checkpoint Charlie, the west wall and museum, Brandenburg gate, restaurants etc. We are both in our sixties and were able to walk a lot as Berlin is very flat. If you do not want to walk then it is very near to an u ban station or a bus stop.
We spent 5 days in Berlin at this apartment and LOVED it and I would highly recommend it to all my friends and family and if I am ever lucky enough to return to Berlin i will absolutely 100% stay here again .Thank you Greici for all your kindness and help and A&B for a wonderful stay in Berlin
