We stayed in Alexandra's apartment for 5 weeks and had a wonderful time. Alexandra is really nice and very easy to deal with. She was out of town when we arrived but arranged for friends to meet us and introduce the apartment (they even carried our bags). We were visiting with our 10 year old daughter - Alexandra and her family couldn't have been more welcoming.

The apartment is spacious, clean and well-appointed with everything you would need for a short or longer stay. It has a fully appointed kitchen (including dishwasher) and a washing machine in the large bathroom. The beds are very comfortable and the apartment is lovely and light. Alexandra has wonderful taste and style. We were in Berlin for winter and the apartment is well heated without being stuffy. Given we were there for a long time and were trying to minimise domestic duties, Alexandra helped us arrange a cleaner who came in every 2nd week.

The apartment is in a great location in wonderful Prenzlauer Berg. There is an S-Bahn station just around the corner (2 minute walk) which is on the loop - allowing you to connect with S-Bahn and U-Bahn lines throughout Berlin. The M2 tram is even closer and takes you to Alexanderplatz (where you can catch the bus to the airport) or other parts of Prenzlauer Berg. There are supermarkets, shops, cafes, restaurants, pharmacies etc within a couple of minutes of the apartment in all directions.

It is an easy 10-15 minute walk to Kollwitzplatz - with its cafes, parks, fantastic adventure playground (Kolle 37), bookshops (including the wonderful St Georges for English speakers), cinema and the beautiful Jewish cemetery. It is even faster to get there if you catch the tram. It is also possible to walk to popular destinations such as Hackershermarkt and the museumsinsel or again public transport will get you there even faster.

We had a fantastic stay here and would recommend Alexandra's apartment to anyone.
