Lydia was away when we were at her apartment but she made arrangements with her friend and neighbour to place the key locally. We were able to arrive as and when it suited us.
The apartment is a lovely place, light, bright and airy in every room - the sun streaming through. Clean and uncluttered, it is a very generous space for two and very calm. You can hear the traffic noise but it is effectively controlled by the excellent double glazing and there was virtually no noise from the neighbours or the lift which is right next door.
We found the bed wonderfully comfy, so many places have firm beds, it was such a relief to find one that was supportive but not hard! Also an excellent bathroom, really good shower, lots of hot water and a full sized bath - shiny clean too.
The neighbourhood is great, lots of places to eat and drink and supermarkets for stocking up on essentials. The underground stations are very close and access to all of Berlin was easy.
All in all this was a perfect find for us and we are very grateful to Lydia for sharing it.
