We never actually got to meet Birgit in person--we always just missed each other throughout our stay--but she was so communicative and helpful with local tips. She was even kind enough to warn us about a rail strike to make sure we caught our flight on time! The room is at the very top of the building, so expect some stairs, but it is lovely and open and bright. The flat was very quiet and we felt right at home. Thanks Birgit and Hassan!
