Alessandra is a super host! She's sweet and caring, she waited for us out on the street, and prepared everything in the house in such a way that we really felt like home. Lots of nice stuff to eat, and quality soaps and shampoos. She also bought a high chair for our one year child, and I'd say that the neighbourhood fits perfectly the needs of a small family like ours, or for couples too. There are two very beautiful parks and Spielplatz just round the corner, and restaurants and supermarkets at the other end of the street, just 10-15 minutes walk away.
Within walking distance on Birkenstraße it's possible to take the U9 or to rent bikes. Also easy to take the S-Bahn on Beusselstraße, about 5-10 minutes away.
Next time in Berlin, we'll definitely choose this beautiful apartment!
