This place was just so BEYOND our expectations it blew our minds. My husband and I stayed in one of their condos in the same complex - I've never seen such a clean and beautiful vacation home. Grace gave us a warm welcome and explained everything when we first walked in. This is after we came from traveling in Copenhagen and Stockholm. We were starting to get tired of staying in small European hotel rooms and when we walked into this place, we were like,, now THIS is a vacation. We actually liked staying in this place better than going out. :-) We were so well-rested in Berlin, I feel like out of the seven places we visited during our trip, I love this place the most. Grace and Stefan are amazing hosts. I recommend this place to anyone with big TEN stars. Thank you for making our honeymoon so memorable!!!!!

Amazing play to stay in Berlin

My husband and I stayed in the Capri studio for a week. It was perfect for us. It's really close to the supermarket and plenty of bars and places to eat. The balcony overlooking the park was quite relaxing. The huge window view inside the apartment made for relaxing meals in.The public transportation is 5 min walking distance from the apartment. Stefan and his wife Grace were amazingly helpful. He was there when we got in (very late at night) and since our flight our didn't leave until later in the day his wife offered to watch our bags in her home while we finished sightseeing. If we ever get the chance to return to Berlin we will definitely stay in one of Stefan's apartments.

Wonderful Property

We spent a week in the one bedroom apartment and enjoyed every minute. It was quiet, well equipped, and clean. The property is located near all major public transportation and there are two large grocery stores within walking distance - one uphill and one downhill. Stefan is a very accommodating host; he even arranged for our taxi back to Tegel at the end of our stay. I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Berlin; it is a great value for the money!

This was a fantastic location. Easy access via transportation or walking to many sites. Grocery and laundry close by as well as several small resturants, a pharmacy and other small retailers. The pictures/photos were very accurate. The apartment was spotless and well appointed. The balcony overlooked a nice park and we enjoyed the sound of the children at the pre-school next door. (Only when the windows were open). We really felt like we were a part of the neighborhood. Stefen was very helpful and was accessible as needed. We would reccomend this apartment to friends and family with no reservations. Tom and Katherine

Parkview Sepia

Parkview Sepia was a great fit for my first visit to Berlin. The property was spotless, the view of the park relaxing, and proximity to Rosenthaler Platz U Bahn, grocery store, ATM, and laundromat - all just a few minutes walk down the hill- were ideal. Stefan was very accessible and helpful. The description and photos were accurate. Without hesitation I would recommend this property for one or two individuals - the area is safe and the flat very quiet except when the children are enjoying the playground in the park. A week in Berlin at Parkview Sepia was the perfect start to my month in Germany.

Wonderful stay

We three adult family members stayed in the Grand Suite. It was great, with the living room usable as the bedroom for the third member. A small balcony overlooking the park is great on nice evenings. The kitchen and bathroom were both very nice. Stefan was very helpful and attentive. The location is very good for the "eastern" hub of the city. It is within a comfortable walk of Museum Insel or Alexanderplatz, for a walker. Also the Rosenthalerplatz U-Bahn station is very close and a streetcar runs just next to the building. The building is in a nice neighborhood with the park and restaurants close by.

This is the Place to Stay

I wanted to try to stay in an apartment rather than a hotel for our 8 days in Berlin and this was a Great Choice! It is a nice neighborhood and the studio was quiet, no neighbor, park or street noise. Just the sound of chirping birds and church bells ringing. The park view is great and you can also see the TV tower off in the distance from the balcony. The Heating unit in the apartment worked fine and Wifi was Great! The kitchen is fully equipped and came in handy some days. Stefan was really accommodating and helpful before our arrival and during our stay. I really loved having more room and privacy in this studio apartment than stay in a stuffy hotel for a week. My boyfriend was not sure about staying in the apartment at first, but at the end of our stay, he admitted it was a Great idea. If you like to walk, walking to the center of Berlin is pretty easy. But the Ubhan is easy to figure out and ride on. The Berlin Welcome card is a really great value. Also, try renting Bikes! It's a very bike friendly city. In summary, I will stay at these apartments again, and recommend them for anyone. I felt safe and welcome in Berlin.

The studio was perfect in every way. The view was great and the location was just right. There were several grocery stores near by and had all we needed to prepare meals. Nola's in the park had excellent meals. Our host was very helpful at the apartment and saw to all our needs-we would stay there again.

My husband and I spent a fabulous week in Berlin during Oct. 2009. What an incredible City so much to do and see. One week not enough we plan to return in the not too distant future. When we do go back to Berlin we will stay at the Parkview Apartments again. Location is perfect. Not too far from the airport and main train station and the underground. Just around the corner grocery stores restaurants, everything that you require. Thank you Stephan for your prompt reply to our e-mails, your welcome when we arrived and the loan of the travel guides and all the info you provided, it was so helpful for getting us started with our visit to Berlin. The apartment was great, so quiet and the most comfortable bed we have slept in for a long time. We would recommend Berlin and the Parkview Apartment to anyone. Keep up the good work Stephan hope to meet again soon.

We stayed in this very comfortable apartment for two weeks in July of 2009. The owner, Stefan, is fluent in English and helped us settle in comfortably. The apartment is very roomy with good sized kitchen and bathroom. There are two large grocery stores near by (closed on Sundays) and many cozy restaurants in the immediate neighborhood. The access to transportation was great with buses, trams, and the U-Bahn all within a few hundred yards (meters). We found that we could easily walk to Museum Island and the shops along the way were a delight (be sure stop in "Who Killed Bambi"). The apartment's bedroom is facing a large inner courtyard so street noise was never a problem. This is where we will stay the next time we go to Berlin.
