Claudia was very helpful in showing me a map of restaurants in the wonderful Prenzlaur Berg neighborhood. The apartment is exactly as pictured, and it was even better than I'd hoped as a base for sightseeing. The apartment's closest train station is Alexanderplatz, right under the big radio tower, so it's near a handy landmark for visualizing where "home" is. I loved the apartment--I only wish I'd had more time to spend there. It's airy and cheerful and is a great place to relax and read.
