Marlene was the perfect hostess. She was hospitable and warm and went out of her way to make me feel welcome. I would strongly recommend her place to anyone who is travelling to Berlin. It felt very safe and was approximately 1/2 mile from Savignyplatz S-bahn (which I used all the time). It was handy for the city sights and also for local shopping, with a supermarket, cafe and restaurant nearby. Marlene made herself available if I needed to ask a question and couldn't have been kinder. Thanks very much for being such a great hostess.
