AMAZING! Only great things to say about my stay in Berlin.
The apartment: It was adorable! Lisa did a phenomenal job with this flat. The bed was so comfortable, the shower was so nice, and everything was clean. Get over the fact that you have to walk up many flights of stairs! ;) You will have something amazing to come home to every night.
Location: Mitte is the city center. There is so much going on all around the apartment. The subway is so close, as well as a flea market on Sunday. **ADDED AWESOMENESS** The Berlin Wall was actually right outside our building!!! We so enjoyed being at such a crucial location in history, with Berlin Mauer Park right outside and so many interesting remembrance plaques all around the building. Absolutely incredible.
Lisa: She is SO nice. She gave us directions to meet her, and when we met her, she made us a hand-drawn map of different routes to get to our flat!! She also gave us a map of the city. In the flat was a box full of restaurant menus and detailed suggestions of places to go! She was so detailed! I was so impressed.
Thank you for everything, Lisa! You were an above and beyond hostess!
