Julia's place was just the repite we needed from our full days exploring Berlin! We took full advantage of the nearby markets and her fully outfitted kitchen. The balcony was perfect for morning breakfast and relaxing after active days. We enjoyed the proximity to restaurants, shops, markets, and access to transit.
Her place is a five-floor walk-up which got easier to climb with every day and she is on a block with an incredibly active firehouse. We were pleasantly surprised that the sirens were close to unnoticeable from the back bedroom.
Julia responded so quickly to any questions, had a map of local amenities ready for us, and even fulfilled my husband's request for a fan for the bedroom (he needs the white noise to sleep).
