My experience at Baerbel's place was a good one, the apartment looks just as the pictures do. Its nicely decorated and all the necessities (pots, pans cutlery etc) were there. Lots of towels were available. Baerbel and her husband were pleasant and friendly, i had no issues getting direction/recommendations from her. The only reason for me not to give this place a 5 start rating is because there is no separate entrance which i knew before booking, the actual door separating the apartment from the main part of the house is one of those folding doors and was not sound proof, so we could hear movements which was a little annoying but worked out fine. This is located in the burbs which was no problem simply because the transportation is realy good, within 50 minutes you are in the heart of Berlin.
