I really enjoyed staying at Kirsten's apartment. She met me in person and showed me in. The apartment is traditional altbau with wooden parquet flooring, pretty much as described and photographed. I liked her taste in furniture. The kitchen and fridge were well stocked with staples like tea, rice, olive oil and so on. The street is lively without being raucus, down to earthe without being too grungy. The covered market just a few doors up is a real discovery, a proper functioning market with flower, food and fish stalls to rival anything in Paris. I have already booked another stay in September for the marathon.
