Alte Schmiede Loft — Objekt 504041

Stayed at this appartment from 23/02/09-28/02/09 and was very positively impressed with the apartment, the amenities and the way it was decorated. Three clean bedrooms with double beds (queen-size), 2 clean bathrooms with toilet (1 with washing machine) and an extra toilet downstairs and towels for all the guests (6). Excellent kitchen with ample room to move around, dishwasher, practically all the kitchen utensils you can think of, plenty of plates and cutlery, glasses and cups, water boiler, coffee machine and dishwasher and pots and pans, not to mention sieve, sharp knives (which makes for a nice change from quite a few other apartments!), etc etc. In short, if it weren't for all the nice reasonably priced restaurants (e.g. Monsieur Vuong (Alte Schönhauser Strasse) or Stiege (Oranienstrasse)), you can find in Berlin, you'd consider eating in every day ;-) Nice lounge/dinner area with lots of natural colours (lots of wood in natural colours: floors, tables, stairs, window panes, etc.) and quite a bit of orange as the recurring added colour. In addition to that you'll find comfortable sofa and chairs, large screen TV, DVD and stereo, dining table with 8 chairs and a laptop (wireless access). Was there something we didn't like? When you are 195cms, you may find the chairs slightly less suitable, as they are fairly low/close the ground. And perhaps the queen size beds are a bit narrow. The U-bahn is not quite close by, but within 10 minutes walking. But our overall impression is very positive and yes, if we would need an apartment for 6 again, we would most certainly contact this agency (not allowed to mention name of contact person...) to see whether we could rent this apartment again!
