We had a fabulous time in Berlin and a great stay at Axel and Anne's place. Communication with the hosts prior to our arrival (to obtain the address and arrange a time for check-in) was fast and effective. They provided clear directions to travel to the apartment from the airport via public transit. When we met Axel he gave us an orientation to all the amenities of the apartment itself and the surrounding neighbourhood. The apartment is in a great location on a quiet street across from Mauerpark, but it's also quite close to several public transit options and shops. Axel had lots of recommendations for dining options in the neighbourhood, many of which we tried and enjoyed. The apartment furnishings were attractive and comfortable and the place was spotless when we arrived. The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes and cooking tools, so we were able to eat in when we wanted to. The bedroom includes an armoire with hangers and shelves, which made it easy to unpack suitcases and settle in for a couple of days. Axel checked in with us by Whatsapp a couple of times during the trip to ensure we had everything we needed. It was a great experience all-round.
