I loved the homey feeling the apartment has...as if a friend said, "please stay at my place while I'm gone". The neighborhood is nice, lots of stores and markets around. The elevator was a plus for a weary traveler, the option to wash was divine especially with kids and the tv was good to keep the kids occupied while I cooked-even in German. Chris was super accomodating, nice and waiting for us to arrive. I highly recommend this place-very elegant and pleasant.
