Had a very pleasant stay at Alan & Kasia's small apartment in the bustling neighborhood of Friedrichshain. Communication was on par and the ground floor apartment was exactly as advertised, albeit a little fuggy and humid in the heat of the summer. The night shop on the corner of the street sells half litres of wheat beer for 90 cents, there are plenty of excellent restaurants and wine bars in the neighborhood and if you want to explore the city, there's a tram stop across the street. Recommended!
