Alan made us feel very welcome here. Child - family friendly place and neighborhood. Alan is very friendly, very kind in offering his support in all we need, and has the apartment very nice, its cozy and clean, and I could not think about a better place to stay. It has everything you need. What was best was the binder describing the neighborhood, where to eat, what to do as a vegan, with kids, in winter, summer, etc. All you can think of was there! This was incredibly useful for us! We loved staying in this neighborhood because it was a 5 minute bike ride or a 15 minute walk to the "in" part of Prenzlauerberg. Public transportation is walking distance, supermarket, all you need.
