It was a pleasure to reside in your classic Prenzlauerberg flat, with high ceilings and an intellectual ambience enhanced by eclectic visual art and artifacts. Shelves of carefully curated books were a main feature and we sampled a few of them, as the quiet setting was conducive to reading. The spacious bath and shower, with good water pressure, were excellent. A Christmas tree decorated with real candles kept us in a holiday spirit!
Easy access to the M2 and M4 trams meant we could traverse Berlin at will, which we did, enjoying a couple jazz dens, some book stores, architectural wonders, Weihnachtmarkts, and a wide variety of good restaurants. Your generosity in providing us a home away from home during the holidays that transmitted clues and signs of everyday life was much appreciated. Best wishes!
