This home is absolutely beautiful! The location is perfect. Everything is in walking distance and the subway and trains are so close . The best part of our stay was meeting Marian. He is an incredible host and always quick to help with all things . It was an absolute pleasure to stay here. If your decided where to stay in Berlin. This is the best! Book it quick! Thank you Marian.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. It is convenient to everything - for walking as well as via U/S Bahn and buses. Host is very helpful and communicative. The building is beautiful and historic as well as clean and modern.
Cool building in the heart of Berlin - but there are cons
There are both pros and cons to this VRBO. First the pros: the building is very historic, the flat is huge, nice little balcony, two nice sized bathrooms, tons of great restaurants, museums and other sites within walking distance. The cons: getting into and out of the apartment is like Fort Knox (multiple codes, keys, etc) - particularly getting in the first time is very confusing; the "silence past 10 pm" is no joke - we had a door open to get some air, 2 of us chatting and laughing around 11 pm and we were reprimanded; basically, assume you will be in bed and not making a sound past 10 pm; the "city tax to be paid in cash only" is shady and I'm sure a scam.
The flat is lovely, spacious, clean and comfortable. It offers the perfect combination of individual room space as well as a bright open common area, which was perfect for our team to debrief from our daily meetings. It is a great spot for a family or group of colleagues or friends. Very conveniently located as well. We walked almost everywhere we needed to go.
The apartment is in a fantastic location, right by Checkpoint Charlie and tons of sights! The apartment is gorgeous and very well maintained. The apartment was a great size for 3 adult woment and is very large and can easily fit more people. Very convenient to coffee shops, markets and restaurants. The property manager responded quickly to our questions. Great, beautiful apartment!
Very pleasant stay. Quit , clean.
Spacious .
Beds ok
The registration online for tourist tax was complicated.
Check inn in apartment to get the keys was ok.
Historic, comfortable and roomy apartment in heart of Berlin
We had an incredible stay in this beautiful and spacious apartment. We had plenty of space and all of the amenities we needed. The neighborhood was lovely, with easy access to public transit, proximate to grocery and dining, and an easy walk to quite a few of Berlinâs many landmarks. The apartment was incredibly comfortable and had everything our family of four needed. Our host, Marion, was very welcoming, shared lots of interesting history of the building, as well as providing clear instructions and very helpful recommendations. We would definitely return the next time we visit Berlin.
The apartment is very spacious and very clean!! It had everything we needed for our short stay. Having 2 bathrooms and private bedrooms was hard to find.
The only con is the cost to do laundry. We thought it was was $2euro/load but itâs $2/20 min! So make sure you choose the right settings and add money right away or it times out and shuts off.
The location was great. There were many restaurants and things to see in the area. We walked everywhere. The train station is also close.
We highly recommend this place r. Also, make sure you do the online checkin several days before you arrive!!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Marian and his wife's apartment in Berlin! From the moment we arrived, they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their hospitality was exceptional, with thoughtful touches throughout our stay that made us feel right at home.
The apartment itself was immaculate, stylish, and equipped with everything we needed. Its location was perfect, nestled in a great neighborhood with easy access to public transportation, sites, shops, and restaurants. It's very central and walkable to so much as well.
Marian and his wife were always available to provide excellent recommendations and assistance, making our Berlin experience even more memorable. We can't thank them enough for their kindness and generosity.
If you're up for it rent bikes in the lobby downstairs and head over to the Zenner Biergarten in the park along the river. This was a recommendation Marian gave us which was fantastic! Also take some time to talk to them about the history of their beautiful building. It's really quite amazing.
You do have to walk up three flights to the apartment, but provided you are able bodied we highly recommend staying at Marian's apartment for anyone visiting Berlin!
Thank You!
Clean spacious quiet conformable flat for family or friends, with 3br (two twins in each room, which can be kept together side by side for couples) and 2bathrooms each with shower (no tub). Bthrms are at front end of the hallway, not en suite. Water is good and hot. Building is secure, with a quiet courtyard behind a private gate. There's a luggage room you can access to store bags before check-in time. Flat is walk-up on 3rd floor. Located a couple blocks south of Checkpoint Charlie, close to U6 and U3 stops, very walkable to Brandenburg Gate + Museum Island. You can make coffee, bfast and keep food and drinks at the apartment of course, but there's a good coffee place across the street that opens 7:30 weekdays, and 3 or 4 other coffee places a few minutes away. Bring (or buy locally) soap and shampoo you like. Owners are responsive and helpful. Detailed check-in/access and other instructions are sent a couple days before your arrival. We had no issues - TV with Netflix, good windows, plumbing, appliances, closets etc. If you do laundry, there are machines in the apt, but multiple 2âeuro coins will be needed.
The property is well located, spacious and serviceable but furnished with the minimum, cheapest furnishings, including rock hard beds and uncomfortable pillows. Generally we'd have been fine with this but for the experience we had with the host.
Our flight was cancelled so we arrived 15 hours late. Since we'd paid in full we figured this didn't matter. In this case the host fined us EUR50 for arriving late, pointing to an obscure clause in the rental contract. The property had also been advertised "parking on premises", but the host then stated that the charge for parking was an additional EUR15 / day.
He insisted on the late arrival and parking fee being paid in cash. We asked for an invoice and to pay electronically, which he refused. He told us to put the cash in an envelope and deposit this in "post box 11", filming ourselves doing it. We could not locate post box 11 and when we told him this he insisted on collecting the cash in person. When we again suggested paying electronically the host contacted VRBO and agreed with them that they would hold back our full deposit pending receipt of this cash. We contacted VRBO separately, but they were not helpful or interested that there can only be bad explanations for insisting on cash.
The locks to the property are electronic we feared that the host would change the code while we were out unless his cash demand was met. After he'd harassed us with messages for 2 days running we paid the extortion money.
Diese schöne Wohnung in der FriedrichstraĂe liegt sehr zentral und verkehrsgĂŒnstig. U-Bahn nicht weit entfernt.Wir haben auch eine Show im Friedrichstadtpalast besucht. Sehr zum Empfehlen, einfach super. Das Restaurant "Hans im GlĂŒck " bietet leckere Burger an. Der Gastgeber Herr Stoica, war sehr freundlich undprofessionell und stellte uns alle nĂŒtzlichen InformationenfĂŒr einen angenehme Aufenthalt zur VerfĂŒgung. AucherzĂ€hlte er uns die Geschichte ĂŒber dieses Historische GebĂ€ude. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt und empfehlen diese Wohnung gerne weiter.
Wunderschönes Appartement in einem tollen GebÀude , gehobene Ausstattung der Check- in/out Vorgang war etwas umstÀndlich ! Sehr schnelle Antwort und Problemlösung mit dem Vermieter !
A very recommandable place for a family sojourn in Berlin
Excellent property in every respect. Very nice location. Comfortable, attractive apartment. All well thought out included details such as soap in bathrooms, detergent for washing machines and dishwasher, plastic bags for garbage, etc . How to improve? a few more kitchen towels for a long stay , an extra set of glasses for 6 residents and a few more explanations about the payment system for the washing machine.
This was a really nice and large apartment. It has 3 nice sized bedrooms it has 2 nice. Bathrooms. It is bright and clean looking. Had nice Netflix as well as amazon prime video. The internet worked perfectly. There was a nice balcony to relax on as well. All of the bedrooms had awesome comfortable beds. This apartment was in an awesome location. Right between two metro stops. It was short 5 min walk to the metro, which then connects to anywhere you might want to go. We got a weekly pass with credit card right at the station and we were set. Berlin was super fun. We are returning for Christmas th is year.
