Hi All,
I stayed with Mia for a few months, when I was in Berlin, and my impressions are very positive.
The location of the apartment is great. You are at the crossroads of multiple trams (the M10 and the M2 to name a few), which is super convenient to get anywhere in the city.
There are a few grocery stores nearby, and a few Spätis as well, which is welcome.
The neighborhood itself is full of families and very quiet. Within walking distance are multiple bakeries and restaurants for many price ranges.
Mia has also shown me around and given me some tours of Prenzlauer Berg and broader Berlin with a focus on history, as well as what it has to offer. Just down the road, across Prenzlauer Alle is an area full of beautifully restored buildings built in the classical European look, and a ton of cafes and restaurants.
Mia was also accommodating in resolving any Wifi issues I had, and in the end, I could manageably work from the apartment, although the speeds were a bit on the slow side.
Depending on the length of your stay, you might get to meet other guests staying in the other room, or Mia's family who occasionally come to visit, all of whom were delightful.
The apartment is also full of artwork and curious objects dealing with spirituality and healing. There is also an in-unit washer, and a rack to hang your laundry.
All in all, my stay was great, and my impressions are very positive. The room is private, and you can come and go from the apartment when you please.
Best,
Max
