Uta warmly welcomed us and showed us around her place. A ground floor 1-bedroom with a pull-out sofa couch, the place became a welcomed respite after fun-filled days sightseeing around Berlin. It is conveniently located (subway station - 5 min walk; coffee shop just outside of the building; plaza surrounded by a church, wonderful marketplace with boutique food and beverage shops, kids playground and tons of restaurants around the corner from the building) in the Kreuzberg neighborhood. Yet since it is set away from the street, you have peace and quiet. The apartment is newly renovated and suited our (family of four - 2 adults and 2 kids age 9 and 12) needs perfectly. The shower can feel snug, but Uta's description is spot-on. We highly recommend this place!
