Francesco's place is cosy and well stocked with everything you might need, from tea bags to restaurant recommendations. He lives practically next door in case you want to ask or borrow anything.
The apartment is easy to reach from central Berlin as there are trams and the S-bahn near-by. The neighbourhood has many shops, small restaurants and parks. There's even an artisan brewery on the same street.
We appreciated how Francesco and his family welcomed our baby (even when she cried at night) and were quick to give us recommendations on where to find a doctor when she was ill.
