It was wonderful to stay with Andrea and Claire! I came to Berlin for research and the room was a wonderful place to work -- it was so quiet and and filled with light. It also has a flatscreen TV with cable. Although the guest room faces the street, it was never too noisy at night--I am a light sleeper and never had to use my earplugs. The rest of the apartment was clean, quiet, and quite comfortable. My hosts were kind and accommodating -- I did several loads of laundry and used the kitchen each day. And Clementine the cat is amazing! If you are a cat person you will fall in love with her, and if you are not the apartment is laid out so that it is easy to keep her out of your space. Thank you for a great two weeks, Andrea & Claire!
