Where to even begin?! We had the most amazing time visiting Berlin with Susana's apartment as our home base. I had been there for 10 days before my partner joined me for another 4, and from the moment I stepped into this beautiful space I felt at home. The room was comfortable and spacious and we had free access to the shared bathroom, kitchen and balcony... the latter on which we spent many an evening sipping wine and decompressing from our adventure-packed day! Susana is a wonderful host and provided us with lots of great tips for a quintessential Berlin experience - everything from neighborhood eateries (which there are many excellent ones) to the best deal for bike rentals.
As for the neighborhood... let's just say it was hard for me to leave the charm and convenience of everything you could ask for in close proximity to your home: a coffee shop downstairs, public transit and every shop or service within a few minutes walk, and the ambience of local and foreign people stopping for a quick chat on the street corner or enjoying a meal at one of the many restaurants.
We truly feel as though we've found a home in Berlin, and would love to come back for another stay!
