We didn't actually meet Stéphanie, as her husband let us into the flat when we arrived. Contact prior to the visit with Stéphanie was very good; she always responded promptly to emails and was very helpful.

The apartment is perfectly situated for exploring this amazing city. There is so much within walking distance - such as the DDR museum, the Berliner Dom, the Fernsehturm and the memorial to the Berlin Wall on Bernauer Straße. For travelling further afield there is a U-bahn station on the same street (Weinmeistersraße) and Alexanderplatz, with its many connections, is only one stop away, or a five minute walk. The area is great, with bars, restaurants, a supermarket, a bakery and a chemist all on the doorstep. Shopping is good here too, with stores like Superdry, All Saints and Ted Baker in the neighbourhood.

The apartment itself is small, but lovely. It is well equipped, well decorated and clean. The description and photos on the Airbnb website are an accurate representation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would be happy to return to this apartment on our next visit to Berlin.
