The apartment is well located just a few blocks from the Berlin Hauptbahnhof as well as several grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants and the Natural History Museum, and not far from the Mauerpark, which I'd recommend visiting on a Sunday for the Mauermarkt (the weekly fleamarket/food truck/karaoke and performance gathering at the Mauerpark)

There's a washer/dryer and well equipped kitchen in the apartment, and Franzi provided towels and sheets. The best part of the apartment was the radio, however, which we enjoyed listening to whenever we were preparing dinner or getting ready to go out.

Franzi greeted us directly upon our arrival and provided us with recommendations on where to eat, where to rent bikes, and even where to buy the particular shoes I was looking for -- Paul Green.

All in all a great apartment, highly recommend!
