Ellen’s place was just as described! Great neighborhood, especially for those arriving by car. We parked our car on the street for free just 2 blocks to the north for our whole stay. We didn’t need the car at all during our stay, as the apartment was a block from the M and 5-10 minute walk to the S and U. Very easy to navigate and close to the center and Alexanderplatz. There were also nearby shopping centers, quick marts, grocery, and restaurants. The apartment was well equipped, clean, quiet, and comfortable for 3-4 guests. The building and key location was very easy to locate, although the unit within the building was a little difficult to find. Ellen was easy to get in touch with and very professional. I would definitely stay again!
