Ellen’s place is nice and close to public transportation. Within walking distance you will find nice places to have coffee beers and funky spaces to eat. You can also shop from Lidl and pharmacies and groceries as well as bakeries are very close to the appartment.
The only problem we had was with the central heating and hot water as the system did not work at the day we arrived. We also did not have hot water the niggh before we left something that caused as a bit of frustration. Ellen was very reaponsive and brought us a mobile heater and the problem with the water was fixed in less than 24h. However we had the feeling that this is not a new issue and we suggested Ellen to see with the owners a solution to this problem.
Overall we had a pleasant stay and we liked the neighborhood and Berlin in general. Very live city with lots of options.
