Gunter’s place is brilliantly situated on the canal. On our first day, we arrived to a Turkish Street market happening right outside and stocked up on delicious bread, olives, fresh fruit and veg. The area is full of cafes, restaurants and sunny parks to watch the world go by. (especially recommend the Korean BBQ place next to the U-bahn station). It’s 2 mins from the U-bahn, 30 mins walk from Victoria Park and 45 mins walk into the central areas. Being on the canal, it’s fairly quiet but you’re never too far from the busier bits. The flat itself is small but well stocked. It’s nicely decorated with great art. The bed is comfy and shower hot and powerful. The main downside is that the windows all overlook other tall buildings which blocks most of the sunlight. But a small price to pay for a lovely location.
