Penelope’s place was great for our weeklong stay in Berlin. It’s close to public transport and great coffee shops/restaurants, yet situated on a quiet block. However, don’t come looking for a refuge from city life—there are still all the noises/goings on you would expect from an apartment building (as former New Yorkers, we didn’t mind). The space itself is modern and clean, and with a much-appreciated washer considering our longer stay. There was one small issue with the hot water one morning, but it was resolved quickly, and Penelope was in communication before and throughout our visit. I’d recommend her place to anyone looking to stay in this vibrant neighborhood—we loved Neukölln and Berlin and hope to be back again soon!
