Franziska was an excellent host, and the apartment is fantastic. It is beautifully designed, spacious and bright. It is very well appointed and in a great location: leafy and quiet, with great cafes, bakeries, supermarkets and bars around the corner. The schloss charlottenburg is about 5 minutes away, and its gardens are a lovely place for a walk and a picnic by the lake. The nearest U-bahn stop is also only a couple of minutes walk.
We really appreciated Franziska's attention to detail: she had left us milk and beer in the fridge, a larder stocked with essentials, and maps and umbrellas in the cupboard. She met us at the flat and then kept in touch with us during our stay, answering any queries promptly and helping us arrange a taxi to the airport. Though we left early, the check-out time of 2pm means you don't feel rushed when leaving. Franziska made us feel really welcome in Berlin, and we definitely hope to be back. I highly recommend both the apartment and the host!!
