I only arrived after 7 in the evening, but this was apparently not a problem as Barbara and Alessandro run a restaurant in the same block and were waiting for me. They welcomed me warmly, and showed me to my room. The room was comfortable, stylishly and simply furnished - just as advertised!

It's worth having dinner at the restaurant (Neontoaster) run by the hosts at least once - I had a selection of delicious cheeses and organic wine.

The room is well-situated, not far from a metro station, and was a very good base from which to explore Berlin.
