Beatrix was a wonderful host, very welcoming and knowledgeable. I arrived very late and she was very accommodating. Essentially her home was my home and it was lovely. Bright light through big windows, a cool breeze (the weather was perfect), good conversation (her English is impeccable) and a glass of wine. Perfection. While most historical attractions are several miles away her home is a very short distance to the Sbahn and if you're up for long walks you can get to those landmarks on foot (I did!) If I ever return to Berlin I would absolutely stay here again.
