Petra is an exceptional host. She is personable, but also respectful of a visitor's time. A perfect combination. She provided plenty of information and tips for visiting Berlin. The breakfasts were great and even included a boiled egg cooked to perfection. The apartment is in a neighborhood with several restaurants 2 or 3 blocks away and an immense shopping center/supermarket 4 blocks away. Access to the subway or above-ground railway networks is a short five to ten minute walk. A guest will not go wrong with Petra.
