Checked in a bit later than 19:00 which was not a problem for Birgit. She gave us tips about places worth visiting in Berlin. The place was very clean and cosy and we had a sense of privacy. Host answered our questions quickly. The kitchen is very well equipped in case you want to cook something. There is an airport nearby and we could often hear planes coming and going but that didn't disturb our sleep. Birgit was very kind to allow us a later checkout.
