Our Apartment




So, we live in a highrise (very un-German) in the Bornheim area of Frankfurt. Bornheim is a really nice area and we lucked out by ending up here. BergerStrasse is the main street that runs through Bornheim and it is lined with restaurants, bars/pubs, cafes, and shops. Wednesdays and Saturdays there are farmers markets from 8 til 3 when we can buy fresh veggies, meats, pastries, etc. on the BergerStrasse.

Our apartment is very nicely furnished and on the 16th floor. We have a very large kitchen by German standards and an office that can double as a second bedroom for company. The living room is large with a couch big enough to sleep two. The main selling point is the huge balcony with a great view of the surroundings and sunrises.
We are renting the apartment from a Canadian gentleman, who responded to an ad I placed on Craigslist. The stars aligned for us on that one, because we weren't nearly as excited about some of the other places we were considering. All in all, it is a nice apartment that will suit us just fine for our time here.
