We couldn't have hoped for a better place to stay on our first trip to Berlin. Kelly is a lovely, intelligent person and was there to greet us when we got there, taking time to answer our many questions. The apartment itself is clean, bright, and spacious, on a quiet street, and with many amenities, including a large selection of cable channels (great for working on my German comprehension). Fresh flowers, chocolates and complimentary wine and champagne completed the warm welcome.

Location is wonderful--a five minute walk to U-Bahn/bus lines and from there to anywhere in the city, yet off the beaten tourist track in a neighborhood where real Berliners, live, work and play. Turmstrasse is a bustling commercial strip with Turkish markets, Apothekes, a Bio Company store, and great bakeries where two people can have croissants and coffee for under 3 euros. Don't miss the Arminius Markthalle just a few blocks away on Bugenhagenstrasse!

We hope to return to Berlin and will definitely try to book this apartment again!
