Bernard and Katja were the perfect hosts. They met us in the pouring rain to make sure we got the keys, and they told us many things about the neighbourhood and shared their love of Berlin with us. They left very good maps of neighbourhood shops and laundry mats and essential services. The apartment is in wonderful condition, tastefully designed, very comfortable and firm bed, lovely balcony and an amazing kitchen to cook in. This is an excellent apartment and we highly recommend it. We would return in an instant.
