As reflected in the listing photos and description, this was a lovely apartment in a beautiful, historic building. The apartment is well situated within easy walking distance of groceries, dining, sights (Jewish Museum, Checkpoint Charlie, Topography Terror), and U-Bahn station, so the whole of Berlin is readily accessible. Marian was a gracious and welcoming host. We had a great stay!Be aware that there is a 7.5% city tax, to be paid in cash, that does not appear on the VRBO listing, and is in addition to the VRBO price, even though the VRBO price says "all fees included." Perhaps travelers from Germany, other parts of Europe, or other parts of the world are familiar with this sort of tax, but it came as a surprise to this American traveler when it was disclosed just three days prior to arrival, at which point it felt like there was nothing to be done about it.
