We are a retired couple spending 2 1/2 weeks in this apartment in October. We each occupied one of the bedrooms and appreciated the comfortable beds as well as the quiet location facing the inside courtyard. The apartment had everything we needed, for us the excellent washing machine and a small dishwasher were a great asset. Around the corner one finds a wonderful bakery and a well stocked Edeka. Three good restaurants are close by. Zur Glocke , on Mecklenburger Strasse, and aTrattoria and a German restaurant with a very affordable menus on Hildegarden Strasse. Equally as important for us was the fantastic connection to public transportation: Buses 101 and 249 about 4 minutes away, U bahn and SBahn maybe 6 minutes by foot. Ideal. All in all we found this apartment perfect for our needs and a good value. Our host Miriam was readily available before and during our stay and attended to our needs immediately, which we much appreciated.
