Silke was a welcoming host and before the trip the communication was fast. We got the key from the cafe next to the apt. Settling the check-out time was difficult because the internet didn't work during our last evening and for some reason I coudn't get the sms's through. Luckily we met Silke in the cafe and everything went nicely. She's a very nice person.
The apt itself wasn't completely as we imagined. We thought there would be 1 bedroom as mentioned in the description but it was a studio apt. For 4 people it would have been small but enough space for us two. The sofabed was rocking a bit if you layed on the edge and there wasn't an extra sheet that we could have been able to sleep in separate beds. The place could have been cleaned better: dirty floors and last guests crumbs were still on the table. There were also strange smell. Biggest minus for the unsecured wifi connection that didn't work all the time. The kitchen worked nicely and there were enough equipment for our breakfasts. The cafe next door is adorable and we got good service and tasty breakfast there one morning. The neighbourhood was peaceful and connections good after walking about 10 minutes to the station. After first dissappointments it was a good place to sleep in between the long days in wonderful Berlin.
