I have always wanted to stay in this area of Berlin -- a significant modernist housing estate planned by Weimar urbanist and architect Bruno Taut for working people (much as were UK Garden Cities). It is world heritage, but also a living, vibrant area and the people who live here, such as the wonderful host Nicola, really cherish the place. Nicola was very welcoming, and as a host she is both organised and relaxed -- a wonderful combination. The room is cosy and peaceful, and in mid-summer there is bird-song every morning! The separate bathroom is also a plus.
