My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay at Dot's. The apartment looks exactly like the pictures and it was just a stone throw's away from the major sites and activities. We were able to walk literally everywhere even as far as the Tiergarden (I do love to walk...if you take the train, it is short ride there). Her apartment is on a quiet street away from all the action so one can come home to a peaceful atompshere. We had a hick up with checking in early as promised, but once that was resolved everything was smooth sailing. The shower and curtain can be tricky, but the bathroom was nice and big. Her apartment had a lots of personality with cool artwork. Final note, it's a 4 story walk up, but her manager helped us with our luggage upstairs. Staying at Dots gave us a good viewpoint of everyday life in Berlin.
