Sharon was a good host, very helpful and accommodating.
The neighborhood is incredible for people who want an authentic Berlin feel--there are a ton of great restaurants and bars around. It's within walking distance of Alexanderplatz and the Museum Island, and if that doesn't satisfy then there's a transit hub 5 minutes walk away that will take you anywhere in Berlin you want to go. Despite that, the street the apartment is located on is fairly residential and the apartment was peaceful, an excellent place to relax after being out all day.
