Verda wasn't able to meet us but her lovely friend Anna welcomed us warmly. Verda kept in contact and was able to organise things for us as our German was non existent!! There was a lot of great information about the area as well as maps and brochures about Berlin. Immaculate and stylishly presented apartment in a great area. Lots of cafes, restaurants and bars close by this quiet urban street. Bells on Sunday from the church up the road and trams and U Bahn within 5 minutes walking distance. Perfect location to enjoy all the pleasures of Berlin. We even got used to walking up to the fourth floor.
