Carole is a wonderful host and as welcoming as one could hope. The place is located in quiet neighborhood in south Berlin. I takes ten minutes to closest station and from there 20 minutes to the city center (Potsdamer Platz). The room is spacy enough for two but could have been a bit cleaner. Otherwise the facilities were good. We cooked some of our meals there and Carole was happy to eat with us when she had time. Carole's place is like a home away from home, rugged but cozy.
