We really enjoyed our stay here. Even though it was winter, so we could not go bicycle to the lakes and swim etc., it really gives you the feel of living in this part of Berlin which is much quieter than the center, but very charming and convenient. I used the bike to go to Edeka, the local supermarket, which is not far away. You can take either the U-Bahn from Krumme Lanke to get into the city, or the bus to the S-Bahn at Mexikoplatz - both solutions are great. We were celebrating Christmas with family, and used the kitchen for cooking, which worked out greatly for our needs. The three bedrooms worked out great for us and our two boys. I cooked for the first time a Christmas goose in the oven and everyone loved it. I enjoyed using the Bialetti coffee machine, and did not miss not having a TV. It was a very pleasant stay, and I would highly recommend, even more so in summer when you can easily get to the lakes etc.
