I spent a lovely week in Julia's apartment. This was my first stay in Berlin and Julia's flat provided the perfect respite to retreat to after a busy day of seeing the city. The apartment itself is cozy and has all the charms of home - a brightly lit kitchen, light flooded living area and even a cute balcony for two! Prenzlauer Berg is a fantastic neighborhood to call home for a short or extended stay in the city, Just a short walk down Schoenhauser Alle to Mitte. Julia's flat is right in the heart of an artsy neighborhood, on Oderberger Strasse. Lots of cute bars, vintage shops and cafes line the block. And the Eberswalder tram and metro are just steps outside your door. The only glitch was that the hot water was out for a moment - this was a building wide issue - but Julia righted that promptly and was extremely accommodating to all of my needs. She even allowed me to check-in early and helped me book a final cab to the airport. A charming host with a wonderful apartment! I hope to return!
