Axel and Anne's apartment is as described and wonderfully new inside. The location is great with a part close by as well as a Metro station that will take you to Alexanderplatz in 10 minutes.

The kitchen and bathroom are wonderfully modern, and there was nice fresh coffee provided. The refrigerator had broken down before we arrived but Axel bought an electric coolbox in case we wanted to chill drinks, etc. He came across as an attentive host and communication was no problem before, during or after our stay.

All in all, a great apartment in a great location. One small thing to be aware of: the apartment building is undergoing some building work and this was noisy at times (including early in the morning but not at night). This is fine is you're out all day but if, like me, you needed to get a bit of work done then it was a bit noisy at times - perhaps more noticeable because the apartment is usually so quiet and peaceful.
