Elke was accommodating and polite, and gave us our privacy, along with advice about the area's restaurants and locals when we first arrived. Also, we had food poisoning (from another country) the first day and she was communicative and helped us check-in a day late.

The room was spacious, exactly as pictured, clean and very well-lit from the outside windows. They look down on a cute little courtyard. There is no air-conditioning but that was not a problem. The apartment is on the fourth floor (and there is no elevator) so it was a bit higher up than expected, and a bit difficult with suitcases, but not the end of the world.

The apartment is beautiful, and Elke was very sweet in allowing us to use the kitchen and bathroom which has a wonderful bath too! Also, the location is incredible. It is quiet, really cool (coming from two twenty-something artists) and extremely vegan and vegetarian friendly. Literally every restaurant we walked into had vegan options, or was entirely vegan. Close to the Berlin metro, and a pretty park.

All in all, a great experience. Just wish there weren't so many stairs. But gotta work those glutes!
