This is a wonderful little apartment. Doerthe was a great host and provided all the little things you need on a break - tea, soap, lots of towels and some food and wine on arrival! The place itself is very close to the U Bahn (about 15 mins from Checkpoint Charlie) and there are lots of very good restaurants and places to eat very near by. There are also places you can pick up some groceries which we found very useful. Having visited in a heat wave (36 degrees!) we really appreciated the cool lower ground location.
