Frau Bolzmann’s apartment is located in the eastern part of Mitte, not far from the East Gallery (a Wall must-see!). You can reach the apartment easily from Tegel or the Hauptbanhof by getting on the TXL bus to Alexanderplatz and taking the U8 metro line two stops to Heinrich-Heine. This stop is right by the apartment building. (Check into the “Welcome, Berlin” card available at Information points and other tourist outlets – this offers unlimited access to the bus system, the S-bahn and U-bahn, and you can get one for 48 hours, 72 hours, or 5 days. The booklet includes discount coupons for many tourist sites as well.)

This apartment is on the 10th floor – however, the elevator only goes to the 9th floor, then you must climb a flight of stairs – so not suitable for those in wheelchairs or with limited mobility. Frau Bolzmann has another apartment located on the 9th floor which would suit you better.
Frau Bolzmann was wonderful to work with – in fact, the airline lost some luggage and she was very helpful to us in getting that back.

The apartment itself was great. Check-in was no problem – we’d arranged a 15:00 check-in, and Frau Bolzmann pulled up right at 15:00. It is a secured building, accessed by your key. The building entry is on the park-side of the building, not the Heinrich-Heine side. There is plenty of hot water, extra towels, firm beds. The bedrooms are on the park-facing side of the building, so traffic noise isn’t a problem (provided you keep the windows closed). There is a supermarket nearby, as well as restaurants and bakeries, etc. There is free wi-fi in the apartment but no phone – a payphone is located near the supermarket. I’d imagine the apartment would heat up quite a bit in the summertime, but in late September that was not a problem for us.
