Galina's place has easy access to local transport if you wish to travel into Berlin city centre. The accommodation has the charme of a 70s flat but is spotlessly clean and well looked after by Galina and Vassiliy who are attentive hosts and even allowed us to borrow their bikes for a day which was much appreciated. The kitchen benefits from microwave, kettle and oven so self-catering is not a problem. The only negative I would mention is that the TV, in true style of the flat, also seems to be from the 70s as it is a 7 or 10 inch square box and not really suited for watching anything enjoyable; however, this did not detract from the enjoyable experience.
