It was so lovely! Up on the 8th floor of an apartment building, there's just enough privacy to feel secluded while still being surrounded by city life. The entire road below is lined with cute restaurants and shops with a public transit station and taxi stop a two minute walk away. The view of the lake just outside the window was perfectly scenic. The room is upscale and chic with all the amenities needed to stay for an extended stay (small washing machine, dishwasher, couch). Heike's warm greeting and comfortably chic apartment set the tone for a perfect stay in Berlin. She always responded in a timely manner, so we felt we were in great hands.
