The thoughtful way that Tiziana had arranged her holiday apartment meant it was a comfortable and relaxing 'home from home' for our trip to Berlin. We only had 3 nights, and were able to make the most of our time there thanks to the apartment's proximity of S-Bahn and buses. After days of walking (and walking), it was a relief to come back to a comfy sofa, hot bath, and good bed. We were made very welcome with some fizz and chocolate and fruit, which we enjoyed too! We even found time to explore the neighbourhood a bit, and see some of 'everyday' Berlin, not just the main tourist hitlist. It's an intriguing area with a warm and friendly atmosphere and pleasant riverside walks not far away. Tiziana has a map of Berlin from before the Wall came down, which was poignant and intriguing to study, especially as it ran just a few yards from the apartment. There is a small balcony too, where we had a lovely breakfast on our last morning, listening to the birds in the garden and enjoying some sunshine. The bakery across the road was friendly and ideal for a quick breakfast shop. Thanks Tiziana for being such a kind and generous host!
