8/10
We liked having a quiet, private apartment that had most everything that we needed including the kitchenette with basic supplies, and towels and bedding. Hand/body soap would have been nice, but fortunately we had enough with us. The apartment is a bit of a workout physically, with the bed up a ladder and on a loft, and the bathroom with shower down a very narrow spiral steps. We were appropriately warned though. One must be fit and flexible enough to navigate the place, but it’s a nice “home base”, cozy and quiet, up just one flight of stairs from ground level in a large apartment building that’s set back from the street with its own courtyard. There is a bus just a couple blocks away that runs directly from the Hauptbahnhof, although when we traveled the other direction, we had to transfer onto the S-Bahn at Turmstraße. But it’s very convenient. The rest of the time while we were out sightseeing, we walked about 15 minutes to the Turmstraße U-Bahn station because the U-Bahn was a much faster way to travel around the city.
Finally, we appreciated having plenty of outlets and 3 USB ports to charge everything each night. The USB ports are tucked away under the shelf where the TB is.
Many thanks for a fun time in Berlin!
