Alke is a great host, very helpful and welcoming. She gave us recommendations on how to get around, places to eat and what to see. The apartment is outstanding! We were a group of 9 people, so I was a bit concerned at first that there won't be enough space. Thankfully I was absolutely wrong. The place is very spacious and comfortable, amazing kitchen with a big dinning table, great bedrooms, amazing living room and a terrace. There is just one bathroom so we had to coordinate our schedule a bit, but it wasn't problematic at all. Overall, I would highly recommend Alke as a host, and the apartment she offers is fantastic. It's a 10-15 min walk to Pankow metro station and another 10 min ride to the city centre. Also, I should mention the neighbourhood, there is a big supermarket nearby the flat and the area is very green and quiet. Beautiful place!
