The host was quite responsive and although she was not directly available to greet us, upon arrival we were graciously greeted by Tanja who was quite lovely, friendly and most welcoming. She showed us the apt and was most accommodating and pleasant. The apt was as described. It was quite roomy, neat and clean. The kitchen was equipped with everything you needed to cook a meal. The furniture was comfortable and just enough. It was nice that there were actually 2 TV's. There is one in the living room and one in the second bedroom. We were provided with Towels and bed linens. Unfortunately we were there during a heat wave, which they say is not normal for Berlin and it was quite hot. We had plenty of room for all 4 people and having 2 bathrooms made it very convenient and comfortable. I was also pleasantly surprised to find many outlets and they were conveniently placed throughout the apartment. The location is right off of Friedenstrasse which is a booming area with arts, restaurants, shops, wine bars and more. It is close to the trains, buses and street car. you can find every kind of food in the area like Italian, Mediteranean, German, Asian, Fast food, chocolates, icecream, coffee shops and more. It is an easy train ride to all of the historical spots like the wall memorial, Potsdammer Platz, Checkpoint Charlie, and more. The city is rich in history and culture. The neighborhood is beautiful and the views from the apartment are nice. We had a great time, even with the heat. Thank you to the host. I definitely recommend this apt and the host.
