The apartment was exactly as listed. It is very spacious, with large bedrooms (3) with lots of room to spread out, A large full bathroom and a powder room next to it. All of the furniture is comfortable, with excellent lighting. The many large, modern windows provide lots of natural light. It was great to have easy to use appliances, and having a washer and dryer was ideal for our two-week stay. The kitchen has a plenty of dishes and cutlery and we had the various pots and pans we needed for cooking meals. The neighbourhood is very handy to a large supermarket, reasonably-priced restaurants, and a pharmacy. It is a short walk to the Birkenstrasse U-Bahn station, and more or less equidistant to two S-Bahn stations on the ring line. We were able to travel all over Berlin very easily using a combination of the U-Bahn and S-Bahn to connect to buses and trams. The street was generally very quiet, and when there was noise from people in the street when we were going to bed, it was short-lived and we slept soundly in the comfortable beds. The apartment is close to a school and we enjoyed seeing parents and children arriving in the morning and the happy sound of children playing. The hosts were very prompt to respond to questions. All in all, this was one of the best rentals we have experienced.
