Just back from a great stay at Brilliant Apartments. The location in the centre of Prentzlauer Berg is excellent - near to a host of lovely cafes, restaurants, bars and right by the Mauerpark and Berlin Wall Memorial. The apartment was beautifully decorated and maintained, and surprisingly very quiet - highly recommended.

This is a wonderful and convenient apartment in a great neighborhood of Berlin. It was easy and fast to get to Berlin’s attractions and yet we had quieter surroundings when we got home and could get a feeling of how people lived.
There is a Japanese coffee shop in the building and many wonderful cafes, restaurants and shops within a few minutes.
We could not recommend it more.

The area is in a nice artsy street with lots of bars and restaurants. The apartment itself was clean, stylish and I found it better than staying in a hotel. The M10 and M1 stops are both close and let you access the public trans conveniently.

It was fairly difficult to find. There are no markings on the building and only a small (very small) apartment buzzer labeled amongst a ton of others. Pro-tip: look for the Ola/Hallo sign.

Cute apartment in the perfect location

We really enjoyed our 5 night stay! The location is perfect. Right in the heart of all the best restaurants and a 2 minute walk from the tram and a 7 minute walk to the subway.

We stayed in apartment H12 and it was huge. A full kitchen, living room (with tv), bathroom (with washer!) and bedroom (with balcony).

Even though you’re in the thick of it, the apartment is very quiet. There’s a fire station across the street, but you’d have no idea since we never heard it during our stay.

The style / furnishings are cute and eclectic (very shabby chic). There were lots of windows you could open to get fresh air and the bedroom curtains are blackout ones so that was a nice touch.

It almost feels like you’re staying at an Airbnb but with on site help from M-F. We had an issue with wifi right when we checked and Simon resolved it immediately.

Apartment living in a wonderful location

We came to Berlin for our daughter's graduation and needed somewhere for 5 nights. Brilliant Apartments was perfect for a long stay. The room is bright, very well laid out, and the kitchen area means you can make breakfast or bring back a meal in the evening from one of the many fantastic places to eat locally. There is an organic supermarket just a few minutes walk away and neighboring Kafe Krone has great brunch options. Exploring the city is easy, with public transport on Kastanienalle. The apartment is within walking distance of the famous flea market, the lovely weekend market at Kollwitzplatz and the Kulturbrauerei with its fantastic food and craft beer stalls. Highly recommended!

A large group of us had a very comfortable stay across two apartments. So comfortable it was difficult to leave on some mornings! Although there were a couple of teething problems on check in (not the fault of Brilliant apartments), Simon and Anna replied to any communication almost instantaneously - even at weekends. Furthermore, a Nintendo switch adaptor, which we left by mistake, was sent back to us in the UK free of charge. A very nice touch indeed! Apartments have been recently renovated and look absolutely superb. My only suggestion would be to separate (door or curtain) the open plan area in Rubin from rest of corridor. Would give a bit more privacy and peace the occupant. Everything you could possibly need was in both apartments. The locally produced sustainable toiletries were brilliant. Some more information on exactly what to recycle and where would have been brilliant - it is different almost everywhere you go. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We had a late arrival and were able to obtain access to the apartments after hours. The elevator outside the apartments building was a nice addition, so we didn’t need to carry our bags up four flights of stairs. The location is perfect. Overall a great stay.

The apartment was in a great area - very close to both the U bahn and two separate tram lines. There were very many good places to eat nearby and we felt very safe walking around at night.
The apartment was very spacious and well appointed. We had a large bedroom with a very comfortable bed and good bed linen. The bathroom was very clean, the water hot and good eco shower gel and shampoo were provided. There was an adequate number of towels (2 each) but as usual it would have been nice to have access to a few more. The very large living room/kitchen was quite minimalist. We didn't actually use the cooking facilities but the kitchen seemed to be well stocked and there was a good selection of teas and coffee available. There is an extremely popular cafe on the ground floor of the building. It was a great place to stay and is highly recommended.

Perfect apartment for a family

Wonderfully spacious apartments, especially for those who are travelling for a long time in Europe. These apartments are not cheap. However, laundry is free, and since there is a fully operational and equipped kitchen, it is possible to save money by cooking meals at the apartment. On the whole, this was a perfect place for a family of four or five to stay.

Great Stay in Berlin

Had a great stay and Brilliant Apartments. It's so nice to have a home base when sightseeing in Berlin that feels like a home and not just a hotel room. Lots of space and your own kitchen and refrigerator are a huge plus. The area is great to tour central Berlin sights and everywhere there are restaurants, shops, etc. Everything was very clean! Anna and Simon were very accessible via email or text and provided great assistance a couple of times when we needed. They are very proactive in communicating and that made us feel very comfortable traveling from outside of Germany. They really want to make sure you are all setup on your arrival. I would highly recommend Brilliant Apartments in Berlin.

Cute Apartment In Excellent Location

A really nice little apartment located on a street with plenty of cafes and restaurants, a short walk to public transport. Our apartment didn't have lift access (currently in progress so maybe next time!), but apart from that it was great. A bit run-down (could do with some paint touch-ups, and there were clearly areas that hadn't been finished well), and disappointed that there was no microwave. Also, sad that there was no washing machine in the apartment (there is a communal one located on the property). But overall a bright and airy space in a great location.

The apartment was clean, nicely designed and very quiet. I only stayed for 2 nights but it would be perfect for a week or so. A very affordable option.

The building is on a fun street full of restaurants, bars and shops, with trams and or trains in easy walking distance.
A Grocery store is at the end end of the block.
it looks like they are installing a elevator on the building. The apartment I stayed in was on the 4th floor,, I did not mine the stairs good for the heart.

This was a great apartment in a wonderful part of Berlin. It was nearly midnight when we arrived, but we had good clear instructions of how to enter the apartment. The room was clean, well-laid out and comfortable, and quite quiet for such a busy city. Really good cafe underneath, which I believe is owned by the owners of the apartments.

Note there are a number of steps to get up to the apartments if you have trouble with stairs, although it looked like lifts were being installed on some floors.

There was a little construction ongoing when we were there, but they did not start to early or work too late. Not a big deal in imo. And when it's done, there will be an elevator!!!

Five Stars All The Way!!!!

Great place to stay for a getaway to see the sights of Berlin. When I arrived I met Simon in the downstairs cafe who carried a 30kg. (Nearly 70lbs.) suitcase up four flights of stairs to save my back! The flats are bigger than any hotel room you would find. They are newly renovated with Italian kitchens, leather sofas and everything you could possibly need for your stay. The U9 is just a ten minute walk away to go to Alexanderplatz and the flats are situated in a serene neighborhood filled with shops, cafes and an all organic grocery store. With a fully equipped kitchen it was fun to shop and eat in for a couple of nights. This place deserves five stars all the way!

Great neighbourhood lots of nice cafes, restaurants and bars on the street but it still quiet and laid back atmosphere. Great place to stay and Café Krone downstairs is a gorgeous for breakfast. Hiring a bike is a must for Berlin, it is so easy to cycle around and you will see so much more if you do and not get exhausted from walking! We had a wonderful time in Berlin - the people make it. It was great to go sight seeing all day and then comeback to this neighbourhood to relax for the evening and then get a great sleep in the lovely Brilliant apartments :-)

Las escaleras para subir a la vivienda y todo el interior del edificio eran feo viejo y poca luz,
