We just spent a week in Marie's apartment and we both agree that it was one of the best experiences we have had anywhere. Marie's home is on a very pretty and quiet street, close to the U Bahn, in the centre of Prenzlauerberg that offers all the pleasures of the most gentrified part of Berlin. The location simply could not be better.
On arrival we were greeted by Marie who was welcoming and very knowledgeable about the city, she ensured that we felt right at home. She is a great host and a total star.
The flat is very Berlin and tastefully decorated (as you would expect from an artist) with really nice vintage furniture which helps to provide a relaxed atmosphere. The kitchen is well equipped and everything in the flat is homely and well placed where you would expect it to be. The building is very clean and quiet with a central courtyard to park your bicycle should you feel the need.
The area is close to perfect if you hate to be bored but like it all to be nice. There is a wealth of amazing places to have a delicious meal or tasty biers, you simply do not know where to start, so Marie very helpfully shared her list of favourites. We have one of our own to add - the Sunday afternoon karaoke in the nearby Mauerpark, an amazing (and hilarious) Berliner community experience, it will stay with us forever.
We will definitely return sometime and Marie's apartment would be our first choice.
Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your lovely flat, see you next time!
