Jocelyne arranged for her friend Marianne to let us into her apartment, and everything went smoothly. Marianne was a delight to talk to for a few minutes, and gave us some great tips (places to see while in Berlin, good restaurants nearby, and that the 100 and 200 bus lines were free and take you to all major tourist sites). The apartment is very small and cute, perfect for 1 or 2 people. There is a dishwasher and washing machine, which were both very nice to have. The small oven actually works quite well, and we didn't miss having a full-size oven at all. Wifi was speedy enough and reliable. The area is very nice, quiet, and residential. We never felt unsafe there. It was great to have 3 grocery stores within walking distance, and having 2 parks nearby was also very nice. Multiple bus lines are very close by, and it's a 10-15 walk to get to either the S-Bahn or the U-Bahn. Overall, a fantastic stay.
