A nice apartment, friendly owners, an international neigbourhood. If you want that, go to the helpful Axel and Anne. It's an apartment in a side building, quiet and pleasantly decorated.
The neighborhood is a mixture of modern renovated buildings and beautiful buildings from the late 19th century. International, young people, lots of children and it comes to life after 16.00. The public transport is splendid (U2, circle line, M1 and M10). Near Schoenhauser Allee are a shopping center and medical services. Schoenhauser Allee is a very lively road with many shops and restaurants. Nearer to the apartment is Gleimstrasse, also with shops and restaurants. It's a neighbourhood with a lot of bio-shops. I read on the wall of the local pub:
"Erst wenn aus der letzten Bar ein Bio-Supermarkt geworden ist merkt ihr, dass Tofu nicht lustig macht".
So you know where you are, if you rent the apartment of Axel and Anne.
And don't forget to go to Mauerpark on Sunday, just a few minutes from the apartment.
