Staying at Barbara's apartment was perfect for our first trip to Berlin. She greeted us and gave us a tour of her place on our first day -- the apartment is even better than the pictures! It was our first time using Airbnb, and this experience exceeded my expectations. Everything we needed was there: shampoo, conditioner, soap, towels, bedding, etc etc, even a bottle of wine. The neighborhood is cute and quiet. We were able to get everywhere we wanted to in Berlin very easily as the public transportation is very close to the apartment. Definitely a wonderful stay!
