“We had a wonderful exchange with Stephane and Anu during the week around New Year. Their apartment is lovely and convenient, tranquil and light. Through the contact we had preparing over mail and Skype it was like staying over at a friends house! The area of Neukoln is still a bit the true blue Berlin, before the gentrification. But don't let that fool you; there are plenty of really nice places for coffee, brunch, drinks and wonderful food.”
