Great place! Photos were very accurate. We loved the neighborhood and the proximity to the park. It is easy to use public transportation- a bus stop (Bus 255) within 2 min walking distance.
I highly recommend a breakfast place, called Cafe Evlin on Muehlenstr. 1. Excellent food for a very reasonable price (7 min walking distance).
We also loved the restaurant 'Heideroeschen' which is located Waldsteg 65, 10 min by car in the park Schoenholzer Heide close to the Sovjet Ehrendenkmal. Smaller portions, a little fancier, but excellent food. Our host recommended this to us.
Alke lives on the third floor and is very kind and helpful.
We loved Pankow and we will be back!
