We arrived at Gabriel's loft the day before Christmas Eve for our two week stay in Berlin. We were greeted by the beautiful churc bells of the Gethsemane Church in Prenzlauer Berg - right across the road from our accommodation. We discovered that this church played a vital part in the fall of the Berlin Wall. Wow, Prenzlauer Berg is such an interesting and lively area. We were able to explore many sights in Berlin easily as the U & S Bahn stations were so close to our accommodation. Gabriel's loft was very private, quiet, clean and comfortable with some interesting art. The kitchen is very well equiped and we were quickly able to find a farmer's market and cook Christmas dinner from local supplies. It was a joy. We were happy to come home to the loft after a long day of sightseeing and relax. There are some great cafes, restaurants and shops in the area. Gabriel was very easy to communicate with. Thanks for the special stay.
