Verda was a lovely host who arranged that a friend meet us as she was in the hospital having a baby (which seemed like a great excuse to not come personally!). However, a week later, I did get to have coffee with Verda and her tiny daughter at a lovely coffee shop near her home (which was also near our apartment).

The apartment is as represented. The kitchen has everything you need to cook in. The apartment is quiet and bright with plenty of room for 2. It had everything we required. The bed is very comfortable and the bedroom very quiet (two of my most important requirements).

But what I loved the most was the neighborhood. We walked to museum island the the attractions of Central Berlin, yet this neighborhood has a homey feeling that is nothing like the city center. We were surrounded by cafes, restaurants, and places for a drink all shaded under the tall trees which line the streets. These places were quite economical, and most of them were very highly rated (too many to try during our 2 week trip).

We hope to return to Berlin and certainly would stay in this apartment again.
