The apartment is well situated close to Birkenstrasse U-bahn station but it would be helpful to know which side of Putlitzbrucke on Putlitzstrasse the apartment lies. The cleaner Frau Engler was there for us even though our arrival had been delayed by two hours. The accommodation was homely, spacious, clean and comfortable with a balcony which was south facing. The noise from the nearby main road was mildly annoying. Frau Engler was happy to be flexible on our day of departure for checking out as no one was coming to the apartment on that day. The kitchen was very well equipped with many appliances including toaster, kettle and coffee maker. Large wheelie bins were available in a common area for the disposal of glass, paper and general waste. There was ample cupboard space in the bedroom with an army of hangers.
