This was my first time visiting Berlin and without a doubt staying at Katharina's place made my stay! She is an intelligent, warm and friendly Berliner who met my friend and I when we arrived. She had towels laid out and part of the fridge and pantry cleared out for us. Lovely to chat to but also respected our privacy when we needed it.

The room is BIG and bright with a nice view over the city. Close to everything you need here (subways, buses, supermarkets, trendy cafés, bars…). It's nestled in a nice pocket of Neukölln next to the river so it feels like you are in your own little urban oasis.

Especially loved the garden she is growing on her balcony at the moment. The only downside was the hike up the stairs as we had a lot of luggage. On the upside this kept us fit and worked off all the currywurst etc we ate.

Would stay here again!
