A lovely spot! The apartment has a funky split level layout, and probably wouldn't be the easiest place to host a big group hangout, but since that wasn't what we were up to, no issue there. The bedrooms are comfy, the bathroom nicely updated, and the kitchenette very handy. Despite the lack of air conditioning—my general expectation when traveling in Europe—the apartment stayed nice and cool during some very hot days. My favorite part about staying here was the location: a lovely, sleepy part of Prenzlauerberg. The M12 tram stops basically outside the door, which makes it very easy to get around on public transportation, and a (pretty!) 10 minute walk gets you to the U and S Bahn at Schönhauser Allee. The bakery directly across the street is the perfect place to start your day; the people who work there are friendly, speak English, and serve delicious bagels, pastries, and sandwiches at good prices. We didn't interact much with the host simply because there was no need, but check-in and check-out were seamless. If we'd needed anything, I feel confident Annette would've been as friendly and helpful as she was when we did interact.
