We spent a most enjoyable week in Alexandra's and Christian's lovely "Altbau" apartment in the heart of Berlin's Charlottenburg district. Their elegant home is light, airy and spacious, and has been stylishly but comfortably furnished throughout. One of the balconies, replete with Alexandra's pretty collection of potted plants, gives out onto the inner courtyard, providing a peaceful corner for reading/relaxation/ a cup of tea or breakfast. The apartment is conveniently situated in one of Berlin's finest districts, amidst quiet streets lined with elegant boutiques, Wilhelmine villas, and cosy, neighbourhood cafes and restaurants. There are good (U bahn and S bahn) train connections in short walking distance, convenient for all the major tourist attractions and amenities. We have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who is thinking of a stay in this fascinating and fast changing city. It felt like a "home from home" and we very much hope to be able to return one day. Noch mal, recht herzlichen Dank fuer einen schoenen Aufenthalt. Cyrus & Sylvia, London.
