Lovely apartment in a great neighbourhood with excellent cafes, shops, bars and restaurants.
We stayed in Sara’s apartment for just 3 nights and it proved to be a great choice. It was a great base to explore Berlin with good transport links for Mauerpark market, the Berlin Wall Museum and also to the centre. Prenzlauerberg is a lively area which seems to be getting more gentrified. It still has some trendy Berlin bars and cafes and lots of new shops, restaurants and coffee shops. We ate out all the nights in the local streets and had excellent food. Thai Aroma and the Vietnamese ‘Ham’ restaurant were fantastic and great value. For contrast we ate traditional German food in the Thuringen Rooms pub where we also drank. We also like the Beakers pub/cafe at the end of the road for drinks and breakfast.
Sara arranged for us to be met at the apartment and get settled in and she also arranged a minor repair to the toilet to be fixed very quickly.
The apartment was cozy, warm, clean and quiet. Our son and his girlfriend stayed in the small second room which had a little train noise but not a problem. It is more suited for a single person ideally.
We liked the fact that some food provisions were left for us and there are lots great bakeries and food shops nearby. Thank you Sara for a great stay.
