The description of the flat was accurate. We were greeted on arrival and our host was polite and helpful. The area was convenient, with bakery, supermarket and S Bahn on the corner of the street, with a direct tram line to Alexander Platz next to the S Bahn station. The area was noisy, with our window overlooking the S Bahn station, but after a day of sightseeing this didn't really matter, as we were tired enough to sleep through anything!
