Franz’s lovely flat was a perfect base for exploring Berlin. Franz was gracious to accept our luggage early which was very helpful arriving on an early morning flight from the US. The neighborhood is very nice with everything you need. We loved the local bars and restaurants and walking along the canal. The flat is well designed, clean, spacious, a comfy bed and nice hot shower. We felt so at home we wished we could move in! If you have any concern about being on the street level, don’t worry. The apartment is very quiet! Thank you Franz, we hope to return!
