The apartment was bright and cheery, and very well located. We were able to walk to many sites, such as the Brandenburg Gate and under den Linden street. There is a nice terrace and once we figured out how to open the sliding glass door(pull it into the room, then slide it open) we enjoyed it as well. There is a market and drugstore right around the corner for supplies, The TXL bus from the airport stops a block away. There are 4 flights of stairs and no elevator, so take that into consideration. Overall we couldn't ask for a better place to stay in Berlin! Mike and Lynn, USA
