This is a lovely little place to stay. It's well-planned and well-equipped. Penelope greeted me in the street and gave me a delicious glass of wine from her home town. She is not always in Berlin but gave me local contacts who were great. Neukoelln is a very specific area - achingly hip and scuzzy round the edges. A bit like Hackney in London.If you want to spend time there, I really recommend Penelope's place.
