Rita’s place is pretty much like a home away from home. She is a very welcoming host who gives you all the freedom at her place so much so that you don’t feel like you are in someone else’s apartment. Due to a flight delay, I ended up reaching her apartment late at night. She was very kind and had even prepared dinner for me. Thank you very much Rita for such a kind gesture :)
Info that might be helpful:
1) Travelers: If you are new to Berlin and/or if you don’t speak German, you can converse with her in English. She is also well informed about the city and can explain almost everything about Berlin. Map available in the room.
2) Transportation: About 400 m to the nearest Ubahn and Sbahn.
3) Leisure: Right across the street is a nice park if you are interested in a pleasant evening stroll.
4) Dining: quite a few options within a 5-10 min walk.
5) Neighborhood: it’s a mixture of residential and commercial settings and not very noisy.
6) house rules: smoking in balcony. Bare minimum house rules pertaining to cleanliness of shared spaces like kitchen and bath. Don’t worry about time restrictions as you will be given an independent key set to enter the house.
I throughly enjoyed my stay at Rita’s place and I absolutely recommend her as a host. Cheers!
