I went to Berlin for a long weekend with two friends, and we could not have stayed in a better place than Louisa's flat.
From the start Louisa was easy to communicate with, kindly accommodating our dates and leaving us a well-prepared, clean and welcoming apartment. Thick towels and lovely bedding was an added plus.

We met Louisa and her husband briefly when we arrived, and though we didn't see them later the turn-over of the keys on our departure was easy.

Now, the flat itself: it was the highlight of our trip! It is absolutely stunning: big and cozy, with lots of interesting art, high ceilings, large windows, lovely herringbone floors and a kitchen you just don't want to leave.

Add to this the fantastic views, the little balcony, the easy transport links and perfect location in the trendy Prenzlauer berg.

There is an large and interesting art and cultural centre (Kulturbrauerei) across the road and lots of restaurants and bars, cafés and flee- and food markets nearby. We were warned that there could be some street noise in the evenings, but we weren't bothered by it and it's just what you would expect when you stay in a hip neighbourhood in a large city. Louisa gave us a number of brilliant local recommendations and though the weather was miserable we enjoyed our trip immensely - and coming back to the lovely flat after a wet and cold day out was the highlight of our weekend.

I can really recommend Louisa's flat and I hope I will have the chance to stay here when I return to Berlin in the future.
