We stayed with three people for five nights in Claudia's beautiful, spacious and clean apartment with a high ceiling and blue painted walls. We found it to be very well located in a part of the Gesundbrunnen district. The neighborhood has been renovated and is alive, there are (large) shops and people go to school, work and relax there. There is a lot of green. It is only a 700 m walk to Schönhauser Allee metro station, from where you are in ten minutes at Alexanderplatz station, say the center of the city. Ideally located.
The apartment is on the ground floor and overlooks a courtyard, which makes it very quiet. Street noise is nowhere to be heard. Although we didn't see Claudia live, we were in touch with her and she made sure everything went well. The apartment consists of one large living room with sofas, table and bed where there was more than enough space to retreat for each of us (ideal for travelling with adolescents who want space for themselves from time to time). My two sons liked to chill on the bunk bed on a height in the living room. The kitchen is well equipped and we used it to cook. There is a lovely, spacious walk-in shower. Anyone who cares about the environment can sort all waste into various containers in the courtyard. In short: a recommended place in former East Berlin, close to the place where the Wall first opened in november 1989 (Bornholmerstrasse). Thank you, Claudia!
