This flat is wonderful. It is comfortable, bright, pleasant and overlooks a quiet street. The host is very responsive. I have spent many weeks at this location and I would change nothing. I will be back. The location is close to the Lietzensee, a variety of restaurants, food markets, wine (and even an English store if you find yourself in need of McVities and a Kentish ale). If you have a bicycle, you are twenty minutes from the forest (Grunewald), the Brandenburg Gate, the opera, the Olympic stadium, Tiergarten, the zoo, Kurfurstendamm -- to name a few locations. You are also very near the Charlottenburg S-bahn and U-bahn stations (in lieu of biking). For better or worse, this part of Berlin (Charlottenburg) is not the hippest and youngest but (and) it is very nice. If you are younger than me (this is statistically likely) and looking for the Berlin that many people talk about, try the area of Penzlauer Berg.
