I returned to Berlin for a week to observe and participate in the 30th Anniversary of Mauerfall. And Sven's apartment was a perfect base of operations. It is conveniently located near the U-bahn and S-bahn, and a short walk from the Zig Zag jazz club! The decor and amenities were far above the "excellent" level, and the apartment overflowed with comfort and character. Wine, beer and liquor were made available, as well as many snacks. Sven made a desktop computer (a Mac) and printer available (but who had time to use them when Berlin has so much to do!!!). Sven was a model host, greeting us in person and taking the time for a full and detailed tour of the apartment and its facilities. he always responded quickly if we had questions or needed advice. I love Berlin, and I've found my new "second home."
