This is a truly lovely and homely apartment, which meant we felt right at home the moment we arrived.
It is light and sunny and has a great balcony overlooking the beautiful old houses and quirky shops, the tree lined street and colourful life below.

There are so many great restaurants and cafes (with outdoor seating) in this road and the close vicinity (as well as a really amazing large beer garden under trees just a few hundred metres away), it was hard to choose. In the end we gave up on cooking all together and tried out several, which were all very good, but we particularly enjoyed the two places on either side of Julia's house.
We also noticed a great playground nearby, which our daughter would have loved when she was a bit younger.

Due to the flexible check-in, we were able to arrive in the morning and start our holiday right away, a fact we very much appreciated; within an hour of unpacking, we were sitting in the sun at nearby Mauer-Park, chatting to locals, enjoying some great food, listening to live music and looking through some very interesting market stalls.

Berlin is a very cool place and we couldn't imagine a nicer place to stay in this city. The public transport options are also excellent: it was so easy to explore Berlin on trams, S-Bahn and underground and never took us ong to get anywhere.

Julia is a lovely, most accommodating and well organised host. Communication was excellent before our stay and throughout. Check-in and -out couldn't have been easier and personal touches and assistance meant that we all felt very welcome!
