Sophienstraße Berlin

We began thinking about a move to Mitte when we realised that with Aunt Benny just down the road, we literally never went anywhere else. We decided to move when we were kept up all night again by our neighbours.  I found a listing for an apartment which had no pictures or address listed, but sounded great.  Jeremy thought it must be a dump, but I knew that a four room flat with crown-moulding, 4m high ceilings, herringbone floors, and a balcony only 1 minute from Hackescher Markt is worth checking out.  It turned out that the flat was in the historic Hackeschen Höfen and the balcony was overlooking the gorgeous Sophien Church Yard.  The only downside was it was on the 3rd floor (4th floor by North American language) and we had a 13 month old and I was 7 months pregnant, but since I never had time to go to the gym anymore, we figured we could use the exercise; that flat was worth it.
