Carmen was a wonderful host and I cannot recommend her more for anyone visiting Berlin. She responded right away with information about the booking and made the arrangements of our arrival super easy. I arrived at Carmen's without any trouble and the room was exactly as described in a beautiful setting. Carmen's home is so beautifully taken care off, there are flowers and lights, making the place and garden feel so special. The room was large and confortable, perfect for a stay in Berlin. The location is wonderful, close to lovely restaurants and bars. For anything that is not walking distance, Carmen has bikes available that make exploring Berlin all the more easy and public transportation is also really close by. Carmen gave us maps and made recommendations on places to visit and neighborhoods to explore, so it was easy to wander around the city after her guidance. Also, Carmen was kind enough to allow us to leave our backpacks in the apartment as our bus left later in the day, giving us a couple of extra hours to enjoy Berlin. I would definitely come back to stay with Carmen my next time I am in Berlin and would recommend anyone visiting the city to do the same.
