Verda’s apartment was great. It’s clean, spacious, and has all the amenities you need; including a washer/dryer. You can rent bikes right downstairs in the 24-hour store. The clerks in the store are all very friendly and helpful. The neighborhood is perfect to ride bikes. It’s residential but there are lots of restaurants, shops, and bars in walking distance. Verda was an excellent host. She was in constant communication with us, met us at the apartment, answered all our questions, and arranged for transportation to the airport when we left. We enjoyed the apartment and our stay in Berlin.
