A most beautiful, tranquil apartment in a fantastic part of Berlin. With this wonderful refuge to return to after full, happy days of exploration, a great sleep in a peaceful bedroom means that another full, happy day can follow. There is so much to delight in the neighbourhood, from the organic shops, the vegetarian and vegan options in so many of the restaurants around, and for me, with this longer stay, the gym and yoga studio on Rosenthaler Platz a real benefit. The nearest swimming pool is not far, just round on Gartenstraße. I enjoyed the occasional breakfast and writing session in Milchladen, just a couple of doors down, and lunch in the Israeli restaurant on the next corner. Returning from concerts/readings etc at night, I recommend the Borscht soup in the Gorky Park bar/restaurant. And Café Fleury, also there on Weinbergstraße, became a firm favourite. I enjoyed listening to my music quietly there in the apartment as I eased into a fresh Berlin day, and I delighted in the wonderful furnishings and soothing colour scheme of the flat. As others have noted, this really is a place one could imagine living forever, and it's rather hard to leave after the very special experience Marianne's apartment provides. The bathtub, too, a delight to chase away any of the chill of a February day. I recommend this great snuggery and elegant refuge to all those to whom the photographs speak - it is every bit as stylish and beautiful as they suggest.
