The scent of pine was in the air as I walked from the U-Bahn the perhaps 7-8 minutes along rough cobbled sidewalks to Nicola's lovely little house. She was utterly accommodating and the room was quite private. The bathroom seemed really clean and unlike many other Airbnb's, there were enough hooks in the bathroom. (Though it WAS just me.) (Really, you can't have enough hooks.) The cats did not clamor for attention or try to enter the room. The location is very peaceful; if you want to stay in the heart of things, it's probably not the place for you. (Ask Nicola about the Onkel Toms Hütte neighborhood, an unusually colorful modernist project by architect Bruno Taut.)
