Carmen was extremely helpful and responsive from the very beginning. Unfortunately my boyfriend and I only got to meet her towards the very end of our stay there, but she made sure someone was there to welcome us on the first day and show us around. Einstein the cat was very cute and friendly, and the place itself is absolutely magical. The barn has been renovated to become a quaint and cozy but big apartment, everything is clean and tidy, and the vegetation on the courtyard is truly a breath of fresh air. Not at all what you would expect from the outside of the property.

We regretfully did not have time to make use of the bikes but will make sure to do so if we ever come back (which I am very tempted to do). The location is a convenient 10 minute walk from the train station (approximately), and is even closer to the east side gallery which is a must for anybody visiting Berlin for the first time. Any way you see it, it's a great place to stay.

Thanks again for everything Carmen!
