We did not get to meet Ekhard but Astrid welcomed us very nicely in the appartement and gave us a few tips about the area. The flat is very clean and functional, just by Victoria park and a beautiful old brewery. The area is very quiet. We only needed 5 minutes walk down the road to hit a nice avenue with shops, cafés and restaurants, which is very convenient. For guests who need to sleep in the dark in the morning, just bring a sleeping mask as there are no shutters. As there were no guests before and after, we could leave our luggage at the arrival and leave later the day we left, which made it a lot easier for us.
