Where/how do I begin to describe the perfectly comfortable experience we had at this place. First of all, the host, Apostolos, is a thoughtful, knowledgeable person, who gave us perfect, detailed instructions on how to get from the airport to his place. He was there to greet us and orientate us to the apartment. He quickly got us acclimated to the place, and gave us a hand drawn map of the area. He knew we were there for our Anniversary and had a bottle of Champagne for us. That was so thoughtful and quickly put us in vacation mode, after the long trip from New York. It is also a big plus that Apostolos has an antique store right next door. He is there everyday and that was good for us when we had a question, like for example, when we needed help reading a train ticket to Poland we had gotten for a day trip. It was comforting to know he was there, next door, everyday, in his fine antique store. The immediate neighbor is very nice, lots and lots of healthy places to eat, drink, have excellent coffee. Our daily routine, started at the bakery a few feet to the left of our place. From there its so easy to walk a block to the nearest U-Bahn, which connected us easily and efficiently to anywhere we wanted to go. After the first week, we took day trips to Prague Czeck Republic, another to Szczecin Poland. If we ever are lucky enough to return to Berlin, you can be sure that we will check for availability at this place.
