The flat was lovely, modern, clean and with every amenity, accessible through a charming courtyard. We did not need to contact the host once we were there since everything was fine. The area was good with a local supermarket close by and some great restaurants not far, including a lovely microbrewery and German and French places. It was also very close to a tram line and just a few minutes from the U Bahn into the centre, just two stops from Alexander Platz. In all, we loved it.
