Rita was a terrific, warm hostess! The room is exactly as described and the bed was comfortable. The room is so quiet I thought I was wearing my ear plugs to sleep, and yet I wasn't. The room has a lovely big window to let in light, and air if you wish. Rita's location is close to both an S-Bahn and a U-Bahn station, and thus you can get anywhere very quickly on Berlin's incredible transportation system. It's also within walking distance of many of the historic sites, tourist spots, as well as shopping!
Rita made me feel like a family member or good friend. She offered great tips on how best to get around Berlin and what to see. You can tell that she loves Berlin and she loves hosting people to her city. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Vielen dank, Rita!
