I had a lovely stay at Ute's. The apartment is located in a great part of the city that is well connected (even to the Tegel airport. Metro stop is practically just outside the building.) and has many shops, supermarkets, and bars in vicinity, especially those open late at night; but no noise from them, and it seemed very safe too. The communication with Ute was great, and she was kind enough to meet me earlier than the check-in time was as I was arriving in the morning and needed to catch up on some sleep before getting on with my trip. My room was more spacious than the photos would suggest and quite cosy. I had space to leave a big suitcase flat on the floor, and you could probably fit a 2nd one without having to jump over it. You have everything you need there + some thoughtful touches with books and guides, pens, a candle, coffee- and night tables etc. The whole apartment and the room itself are very clean; bathroom and kitchen are big and both have dedicated spaces for the airbnb guest, even your own sink in the bathroom. I enjoyed staying at Ute's very much. The only thing I would suggest are a sleeping mask and ear plugs (I forgot them). But I think no matter where you go, 9 out of 10 times for sure you'd need them. I have already recommended Ute's place to a friend, and I'm sure she will enjoy her stay here too. :)
