We were welcomed in the apartment by Flaminia who lives just upstairs herself, so she was available if anything beyond the initial orientation came up. Although we took a cab from the train station, the apartment is just a short walk from the Schoenhauser Allee U-Bahn, S-Bahn and M (streetcar) stops and we used all of those systems daily. There is a park just around the corner (Mauerpark) that has a craft sale and flea market on Sundays, and the Berlin Wall Museum is very close by. There are a variety of shops and restaurants on the streets nearby, all within walking distance, some are quite excellent. The apartment itself is spacious and bright, and the kitchen is well-equipped. We were a party of 3 (no couples) and we managed fine, but we only used one of the pull-out beds so there wasn't too much daily rearranging of furniture. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you Flaminia + family for your hospitality.
