Fran was a thoughtful and interesting host. With my arriving after midnight, she nonetheless went out of her way to see me into the place and show me around. Her entire family is welcoming and friendly, yet allow for autonomy and personal space. The room itself is quite spacious and the apartment well located in the former East Berlin, a short train trip to Alexanderplatz and thus other central parts of Berlin. At an excellent price, in a fantastic location, I would highly recommend to others!
