Stephanie's colleague, Tina, met us at the arranged time and helped orient us to the apartment and the area. She explained the coffeemaker to us. Unfortunately we were unable to make it work afterwards during our stay. We used the French press instead. The apartment is very well situated, we walked everywhere! It was hot during our stay and the fans that were supplied were helpful in keeping the apartment comfortable. It would have been good to have a plain top sheet on the beds to sleep under as the duvet was too warm. The apartment is spacious and quiet with little street noise although it is at street level and right beside a restaurant. We found the groceries we needed near Frederichstrasse train station, a short 10 minute walk from the apartment. This apartment proved to be an excellent base for our stay in Berlin, we enjoyed our stay!
