Karsten and his keyholder both communicated well and were very welcoming and helpful. The apartment itself is beautiful, well furnished and in a wonderful neighborhood. I did a lot of cooking and appreciated the well-equipped and large kitchen. The living room with its beautiful decor and comfortable furnishings was a great place to unwind after a day of tourist work. The bedroom/bath area is also very roomy and includes a large desk, where I enjoyed writing up the day's adventures. The whole apartment gives evidence of wide travel by its owner, with interesting art throughout. And there is grocery shopping, cafes and restaurants right outside, as well as ample public transportation. I loved my stay here.
