Loretta is a good host, she made me feel welcome, spoke good English, and was kind enough to offer to make me a cup of tea more than once, the apartment is clean and renovated, close to the Metro Station and surrounded by cafes, restaurants, and food joints (There is a pizza place downstairs called Maestro, best pizza in Berlin). The room itself was specious, has a big window, and gets good sunshine, the bathroom is modern, specious, sunny, and makes for a great morning shower.

The only downside I could find is that the apartment is on the 5th floor and there is no elevator so a bit of a workout, and also the beddings could have been fresher.
