I was received by Diana's brother, Victor, who was very kind to wait for me as I struggle through Berlin's subway system. The room is spacious and located in the decidedly communist part of Berlin, which is a bit of cultural shock for me, but actually pretty interesting once you start looking around, seeing remnants of soviet influence.

The room itself is big and clean, but pretty simple, which was fine for me. The bathroom was functional and clean as well. Smoking is allowed in the kitchen, which was fine for me, but might bother some other people who are very sensitive to smoke.

The neighborhood isn't the most well-lit, especially in the front of the building. Again, this might bother some more than others.

Very unfortunately, the wifi was broken when I was there. Stuff happens, and I understand. Fortunately I had a data plan with me prepaid phone.

At the end of the day, this is a 5min walk from alexanderplatz, from which you could take the S/U bahn/tram to pretty much anywhere else in the city. The location can't be beat.
