Appartement près Alexanderplatz

the flat is well equipped. It isn't luxurious, but it doesn't pretend to be.

everything you could want is here in the way of equipment and the flat is spacious.

transport links are excellent. the M4 5 6 8 trams are less than 5 mins walk away. So it's easy to get to Alexanderplatz - one stop away.

also, the neighbourhood is quiet and feels very safe.

I have already booked to come back here next year.

Location was fabulous, we walk everywhere and this was perfect.

We were supposed to pick up keys from Mirco at his office (which we didn’t know and didn’t agree to when we rented the apartment). My phone doesn’t work in Europe so to contact Mirco on arrival we went to a local coffee shop to get on WiFi to connect via WhatsApp. Nothing. Wandered around, found the intersection where his office was located, asked a local shop keeper...no help. Went to an American chain hotel —the desk clerk phoned Mirco on their landline, but said he wasn’t answering and didn’t have voicemail set up. A second desk clerk also tried to help. For whatever reason, the connection to WhatsApp finally worked and Mirco showed up at the hotel to give us the keys.

This all took two hours, and did I mention it was raining and we were soaking wet?

We were surprised that after all this he just gave us the keys and didn’t walk us to the apartment. It was all pretty traumatic but once we got to the apartment we were happy.

The kitchen was well appointed and I was glad they left staples from other guests—olive oil, salt and pepper, instant coffee. We left our staples as well knowing they will be used by future guests instead of being thrown out.

We loved the apartment, but recommend you be much more proactive on communication than we were, so you don’t spend 2 hours wandering around in the rain!

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely apartment. Ideal for all transport and within walking distance of Alexanderplatz. I definitely recommend staying here.

Bedankt, we hebben genoten van het verblijf in dit appartement!

This is a great apartment with easy access to all forms of public transit. There’s lots of great shopping and restaurants within walking distance.
