Since we'd been to Berlin before and were familiar with the neighborhoods, we decided to book a VRBO instead of staying at a hotel. Kreuzberg, is a vibrant and gritty neighborhood with a large Turkish population and some of the best bars and restaurants in town. Markets spill out onto the sidewalks, graffiti art splatters every building, a mix of dialects and languages fill the air, sizzles and pops send street food aromas straight up your nose making your head instinctively turn to see what you're missing...Kreuzberg is the place to be.
This property is in a great location. It’s walking distance to a bus and subway stop, easily accessible to cabs and Ubers, and not far from all the tourist attractions. It’s tucked away behind a couple of security doors and a small courtyard; very secure and very quiet.
The unit is spacious with lots of places to plug in. The big couch in the living room is nap-worthy. The beds are comfy enough, but more pillows would be appreciated.
I’m sure COVID restrictions play a part in personal amenities available - bring your own soap and hair care products, as well as your own tissues. An extra set of towels would have been nice - and I’m sure had we asked, a set would have been supplied.
Kitchen items are minimal, but we bought breakfast items at the grocery store (a three minute walk) to get us through the mornings. We ate out the rest of the time - and the choices are amazing. Coming and going as we pleased, we felt like locals rather than tourists. Would stay again.
