I arrived a little earlier than expected and called ahead. I spoke to Saliha's mother, and she agreed to receive me sooner than planned. I was feeling a little under the weather and she was more than accommodating and understanding and set up the room for me straightaway.
The room is cute, and has real character, as does the apartment as a whole. It was lovely and warm and I had a bathroom to myself. After the initial check in I didn't see anyone for the rest of my stay, but I wasn't there too much anyway.
The position of the apartment is wonderful, a tram line runs right past the front door, but you will barely hear them! It's very close to so much, only a short hop from Alexanderplatz and many other great spots.
Highly recommend!
