Laura was a great host and responded to any questions with in a few hours. She made our check in, stay and check out very easy, with clear instructions for everything. Her loft is beautiful and is in my favorite neighborhood in Berlin. There are so many things to do near by for all age groups, students and families also. I would recommend a Sri Lanken restaurant called Sigiriya on Grünberger Strasse 66. which is a 2 minute walk away. There were only two things I would be aware of, one is that it gets very hot (with no fan or air con) and leaving the windows open meant that a lot of bugs would come in, and two to not under estimate trying to carry your luggage up to the fifth story of the building. Over all I loved this apartment and would 100% recommend to stay here!
