I spent with Birgit 2 months and I still miss her and her family. The time there was great! They greeted me kindely and warmely, and sice the frist day I've felt like at home. They helped me to adapt in the new place and to make me feeling confortable. The house it's small but perfect, very clean with all the necessary and my room was defintely BIG, with beautiful sight on a green park. The area it's safe, close to the Berliners night-life, just 3 mins walking to the Ubahn (4 stops to Alexanderplatz) but anyway not chaotic or noisy at all. I had a wonderful time there and I can only recommend them!
