Dirks place is very bright, clean and modern. It’s in a cute neighborhood with small cafes and restaurants. It’s within walking ( 15-20 minuets) to main shopping area KuDamm and other nearby attractions. It was easy to communicate with Dirk and check in and check out was also very simple. Added bonus is a pretty large balcony and lift. It was a bit hot...no fan or air but I traveled in a very hot month. Slept with windows open but a fan would be great. Plenty of towels and extra amenities. Also bed was super comfy! Would stay here again...great value!
