Apartment 9, Görlitzer Park

 In Berlin, we stayed in apartment 9, Gorlitzer park, which we booked on Airbnb.

This is a six bed apartment with two singles and a super large double, double cleverly built over the top. It has a small kitchen with fridge, a table for six, large sofa and a large bathroom with shower.

The apartment is clean and provides plenty of space for a holiday apartment. The area is what some would describe as "edgy" but we felt safe and the apartment itself is towards the back of an apartment block so it is off the main Street. The apartment has good WiFi and Stella left recommendations of places to visit and his restaurants nearby.

There are coffee shops and cafes within a very short walk and these are very reasonable cost-wide as you are slightly outside if the city (coffee and pastry was about 3 euros and a Kebab or curry about 10).

There is a cafe right outside the apartment that will deliver breakfast if you don't want to go out early in the morning. The apartment is also right opposite Gorlitzer park and close to the river and Berlin wall although it is a short walk (10 minutes) to the u-bahn and further to the s-bahn (about 20 minutes). There is a small supermarket about 1 block away if your are planning on making your own breakfast.

Once at the station, it is easy enough to get to central Berlin and this costs about 3 euros

Pros - good area with ready links. Spacious (for 4, could be squashed for 6). Quiet and clean

Cons - a little way out from central Berlin. Coffee machine is tassimo (note! - you need very specific pods for this machine)
