Katharina was very amiable, a pleasure to talk to and informative on a whole range of topics, I think our conversation could have continued all afternoon, but of course I had Berlin to see. The apartment meets the description….it is away from the main street and consequently I slept soundly and was awoken by birdsong. Conveniently located for the metro at Bernauer Straße, plus I enjoyed breakfast at the cafe almost immediately outside. A congenial host and an easy, quiet location are very positive components.
