Leaf Terrace checks all the boxes. As first timers to AIRBNB we knew not what to expect. We are experienced international travelers that were looking for something different from the business hotels we frequent. Dropping into a neighborhood presents a different set of challenges. When one stays in a commercial district accustom to foreign travelers the travel experience can be generally seamless. What I appreciated about Leafy Terrace was the simplest living tasks being transformed to a more Berliner-like daily existence. I found it challenging and helpful to attempt to use the language. Trying, even just a little, was rewarding. Learning the public transit system with tools found in the App Store helped us travel easily at all hours throughout the city for both business and pleasure.
Our hosts, Ramfis and Carolina, literally went out of their way to accommodate us. We had a long travel day with a cancelled flight delaying our arrival to Berlin by 10+ hours. We finally made it to Leafy Terrace close to midnight. All along the way our hosts stayed engaged with Ramfis greeting us with a welcoming smile and reassuring tone. We quickly got settled and I ventured out into cold dark night in search of food. I felt safe and found food at a Doner after a fifteen minute walk just at 12:30am.
Oh...and I haven't yet mentioned our delayed luggage from the flight which took two days to be delivered. Ramfis and Carolina stepped up whenever assistance was needed and did so again by helping with the luggage transfer nearing midnight on Tuesday.
Yes...the accommodations are as advertised. The intangibles of caring hosts - Off the Charts!!! Thank you Ramfis and Carolina for making our brief stay in your world one to remember fondly.
