I had a wonderful month in this beautiful flat in Berlin! Lydia communicated really well with me before my arrival in Berlin and clearly explained the key pick up etc. Lydia was away at the time, but put me in touch with close friends of hers who handed me the keys and made me feel extremely welcome. The flat was just as described, very light, modern but cosy, and very tidy and clean. A bottle of wine was waiting for me, and the wifi set up/amenities set up was easy to follow. Friedrichshain is a great neighbourhood, with a lot going on with restaurants, cafes, cinemas, bookshops, bars and markets, and with some great quiet green spaces too. The flat is very near the U-Bahn and the Tram which made daily travel very easy. I also was able to use Lydia's bike which was speedy. The flat is a perfect place to retreat, with great lofty views over the Berlin rooftops. I highly recommend anyone to stay here!
