Silke's place was truly a home for me. I stayed nearly 3 weeks, mostly alone - my partner joined me in the last few days of the trip.
The place was much bigger than expected from the pictures, which was a lovely surprise. From the first moment of communication online, to the last, Silke (and her daughter, whom I met in person) did everything to make our stay feel home-like, comfortable, warm. The location is incredible, within a few steps you're at the lake - and within half an hour train, you're at the city center. It was a perfect combination of being in Berlin and having access to city center, and at the same time, having a resort-like feeling, away from all the buzz of city life. The quiet of the house and the surroundings allowed us to recover from the city trip, and to recharge with positive energy from the lake and the nature outside.
I definitely recommend this place to anyone wishing for a different experience of Berlin, not the familiar-touristic approach. For sure, I'll be more than happy to come back (soon!).
