Wow, what a perfect few days. I chose to stay with Anna because her part of Neukölln has always been one of my favorites in all of Berlin. It's in a quieter part of the district along one of the canals, but still right next to a very convenient subway line and any store you might need.
Of course, after a vicious cycle of delayed flights and missed connections, I arrived in Berlin so past the check-in time, I was sure I was going to be sleeping in the airport that night. But Anna was so much more considerate than was called for, kept in touch with me throughout all of my delays and was there to let me in when I at last arrived.
The apartment itself has all the style I've come to expect from Berlin apartments and then some. The room was super cute with all of these perfect little touches like fresh flowers and a mirror for makeup. Her cats are absolute sweethearts who will purr just by your mere presence and Anna herself is a great conversationalis and gave perfect tips for places to see nearby. I had a great time and would absolutely come again!
