If I could give 6 stars for location, value and cleanliness here, I would. 8 min walk to Alexanderplatz with U stop outside the door makes Ece's place so convenient and central. Met on arrival by her mom, Elif, who is very kind and helpful, and gave me good privacy for the duration. We did not speak the same language but we managed nicely (my fault for knowing no German). Room is bright, cosy and very clean. Nice warm shower too. Flat is very quiet inside and out. Didn't really need to use the kitchen that much except for cereal :)
