Silke was very friendly in communication through mail. She answered all the questions we had before the arrival in Berlin. The day of arrival we could easily get the key of the studio in Silke's 'Frozen yoghurt' cafe next door. A woman working there let us in as Silke herself was not there for the weekend. We only saw Silke on the last day of our stay as we always went out early and came back late from our city tripping in Berlin when the cafe was already closed. We mostly loved the location of the studio. It's situated in Prenzlauer Berg which is a very lively and easy going neighborhood with a lot of playgrounds and a lot of children:-). Our daughter loved it. Concerning the studio we were a bit disappointed. Whether we didn't read well the description, whether the pictures gave us another idea.... But we expected the studio to be bigger. The pictures gave us the idea there was one living room (with small kitchen) and one separate bedroom. Traveling with a three year old a separate bedroom was what we actually needed, but we ended sleeping altogether. So there was no real living room, only sleeping room (2 sofas for the 3 of us). The sofa you can see on the picture is in front of another sofa which were both unfolded to sleep. The kitchen is not so useful to cook a whole meal. It's just enough to prepare breakfast. So we went out every night to a restaurant, came home late and went to bed altogether as we all slept in the same small room. The studio is located on the ground floor. Luckily it had rolling shutter. Also the street is a very quiet one. You can see the flat is quite new (new bathroom, windows, floor, etc.). In fact the studio is an annex of the cafe. Silke is not living here. She is just renting the place to tourists. You can feel in the studio nobody is actually living there. That's okay, but the place itself was not clean because of former visitors. In the kitchen plates, glasses and knifes were still dirty. Under the bed we found a sock full of dust. The kitchen cupboards were sticky inside and outside. But after one day we forgot about this and lost ourselves in the Berlin city life;-).
