Sophie got a very last minute message from me that we'd be staying in her place and she was EXTREMELY accommodating. Her apartment was clean and she even waited up until midnight for us to arrive. Sophie handed us the keys with a smile, offered up her collection of wine, and gave us some recommendations for restaurants. Her neighborhood is PERFECTLY situated in the Neubau district with plenty of thrift shops and great restaurants nearby. My favorite place to eat was a straight walk down the street to Cafe Ulrich and we found some great threads around the corner at Humana. If you want a quick drink, that place just next door, ZIPP, is a pretty cool dive bar.

Her apartment felt much more spacious than the pictures would have you believe and her terrace was the best part of our visit. We hung out in the sunlight for hours and sat up on the roof drinking prosecco while we watched the sunset. Sophie's apartment is perfect for spring/summer with lots of windows and plenty of natural light. The sofa turns into a sleeping area big enough for two people and we didn't really use the kitchen, but it seems that all is well in that department too.

This apartment was perfect for us and the location is ideal. We'd definitely come back. Thanks Sophie!
