Sylvia wasn't available to meet me but she gave me all the info I needed in advance and also provided a friends details in case there were any issues. As it turns out the only issue I had was locating the apartment and was entirely my fault and down to not reading the itinerary properly!

The apartment is nice and airy with good light and a nice vibe, overlooking the courtyard, the central tree there looked stunning in it's Autumn colours. Everything was clean and tidy and easy to find with clean towels and bed sheet and duvet all laid out for me.

The apartment is nicely situated for the neighbourhood and is about a ten minute walk from Schlesisches Tor U-Bahn station, from where you can get to many places directly, and indirectly with a few different connections. Kreuzberg has a lot going on and is edgy and lively, plenty of decent food and bars nearby.

Overall a great stay and perfect for me, I hope to return to Berlin in Summer and will definitely try and stay at Sylvia's apartment again!

Many thanks, Jason
