The apartment is lovely and bright and clean with all the facilities we needed. There was excellent and friendly communication with Gini & Erik throughout and also friendly advice from them of places to visit and eat and drink. They also had two bikes we could borrow. The whole family really enjoyed cycling around the city, especially to the East Side Gallery, the impressive Soviet Memorial and some various suburbs to eat, drink and shop. We really liked exploring Friedrichschain, Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg for their more "independent" feel, but the flat is really well located for quick public transport to the centre. One of our highlights was a late night drink in the revolving restaurant at the top of the TV tower in Alexanderplatz.
