The reviews that we had read before choosing the accommodation were all great and they did not oversell it. The property was easy to find, clean and well presented and was within a couple of minutes' walk from Kotbusser Tor U-Bahn station which, itself, is only 4 stops from Alexanderplatz. We met Martina and Charlotte and they were lovely. Martina gave us a thorough rundown of the accommodation, what was nearby, what local information was in the apartment and, importantly, that we could contact her if we needed anything. (When I'd tried out my German and ordered a taxi, I asked Martina to double-check that I'd got the details right - now, that's service!) The apartment has everything that we needed, including a rather good counter-top induction hob (although, mostly, we ate out, of course). Would we stay again? Absolutely!
