We spent an extremely happy 4 weeks in Charlotte’s very comfortable apartment. It’s larger and more pleasant than it appears in the photos. Everything works really well, from shower to cooker to coffee-maker to pots and pans and more, and there are three choices of where to eat: kitchen, living room and balcony! We had several breakfasts out there when the sun was shining in the morning. It was a great place to work too, being bright throughout the day and in terms of pleasure, the area is a great one for exploring Berlin. True, it’s not in the centre, but the S-bahn is only a 5 minute walk away and Potsdamer Platz just 5 stops on from Friedenau. Innsbrucker Platz on the Ring is only about 8 mins away on foot. The streets nearby are lovely and peaceful, yet many shops, cafes and restaurants are close by. For a mass of shops and so on you can easily walk to Steglitz.
Charlotte was a terrific host: very helpful and very trusting, things just could not have worked out better. So I recommend she and her apartment unreservedly. Unless you can’t take on 4 flights of stairs (no lift), that is. It kept us fit!
