Thu's apartment was perhaps the cleanest place I have ever stayed in and one of the most comfortable. A newish one-bedroom apartment, it is located just across from Alexanderplatz, a modern shopping area created from the former sad center of East Germany. The location is excellent in terms of transportation because the "city train" to the main train station is across the street and the direct bus to Tegel Airport stops in front of the apartment!
Thu had decorated the apartment from Christmas with cute silver ornaments and a very clever large hand-made Advent calendar. The furniture is also silver white and very nice. The full size bed is quite comfortable. Even though this is a major shopping and traffic area, the excellent, large, German double paned windows made the apartment very quite.
The building is very safe, clean and modern. During my week there I didn't see a single other tenant.
Thu and her boyfriend are very sweet and easy to work with. I hope to stay in their apartment again. Thanks!
