We loved staying with Renate in Berlin - getting to know an East Berliner made our trip to this fascinating city even more perfect.
We arrived to a delicious lunch, and weren't allowed to leave until we'd eaten another delicious lunch.
Renate was helpful and went out of her way to make our stay easy and comfortable. We spent lots of time chatting with her about her life and experience. Her English is good enough for us to have a conversation.
The views are fantastic over Berlin - including looking down onto where the Wall used to be, and yet it is less than 10 minutes walk to the Gendarmenmarkt.
We would thoroughly recommend staying in this well-located, well-appointed apartment.
