Claudia's open-plan artist's loft was a creative and lovely place for my group of five friends to call "home" for our three days in Berlin. We had a big mishap on the day we arrived -- a 24-hour flight delay resulted in a communication lapse and an incredibly late check-in -- but Claudia contacted me worrying about our safety and arranged for someone to meet us after midnight to check us in, and we promptly payed the late fee for the inconvenience. We never met Claudia in person but she was an attentive host and her studio is one-of-a-kind. The beautiful art and the lovely colors made us feel at home from the moment we stepped in. We felt lucky to have such a welcoming place to come back to after long days and nights in the city. Dankeschön
