Barbara was waiting for us when we arrived, she made us very welcome and explained how everything in the apartment worked and showed us where everything was. The apartment was just as pictured, spotlessly clean and a joy to stay in. Nice little touches like a UK to continental socket adaptor in the bathroom and some welcoming wine and nibbles. We loved the area as well, a short stroll in one direction took us to the Volkspark with a very nice lakeside beer garden. There were several small supermarkets nearby and some very reasonably priced restaurants and breakfast/cafes all within a couple of hundred metres, yet the road the apartment was in was very peaceful. We felt very safe walking around the area and it was only a 10 minute tram ride from the more lively areas around Alexanderplatz. I would recommend Barbara and her apartment to anyone.
