Doro’s apartment was as beautiful as the photos. We enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, spacious bedroom and living room, and gorgeous bathtub. The neighborhood is very convenient with lots of restaurants and walkability and felt safe to me at all hours as a New Yorker. The main downside was that we came during one of the recent heat waves. This neighborhood is very noisy with people hanging out and yelling on the street at all hours and the majority of Berlin is not equipped with air conditioning or fans. Having the windows open was crucial but subjected us to the loud street noise that occurs all night outside of all rooms and I was unable to sleep most nights. The climate is getting hotter so I would personally opt to stay in a quieter area in the summer. On a positive note, Doro’s double windows are sound proof when closed, so I would highly recommend staying here in cooler weather! We did not interact with Doro but her friend was very pleasant to communicate with.
