Anna welcomed us both (Sheila and myself) from upstairs in her apartment. She was very helpful with handing over information about the local area regarding shops, supermarkets and good restaurants. One in particular Neumond across the road near by of which we went to dine twice!!!! Incidentally, we also found a very inexpensive Syrian restaurant Yarok near by along Torg...of which again we dined twice. Anna showed us various information of events in the area and beyond. It's a great area to stay Mitte and the local main S line is near down Friedrichstr. a useful major main line station. Remains of The Wall is near by and also its museum. A simple MUST! (Stasi museum also a must!) The apartment is warm, spacious, very quiet and practical with flowing hot water and efficient central heating . Get the MyTaxi app as used this for the airport travel from Tegel Euro 27 incl. and other times. The Palast theatre is near by and again a must visit. Very important for the traveller - the WiFi was excellent and very powerful.
