Communication from the start was timely. Extra documents were emailed to us with very beneficial information about the accommodation and the area. The place was spacious enough for 8 although we had 6. Linens and other necessary amenities available and nearby grocery stores. The neighborhood was very hip and more modern and improving since 20 years ago when I first visited. According to my uncle who is a Berliner many students in the 90s-00s started families of their own and you will see playgrounds nearby. You have very many nearby options to hop on train, tram or bus. Our host was very kind and helpful.
