I spent a week during August 2017 in a room in Elektra's comfortable home. Although easy to reach via public transport (a short walk from the M1 tram), it's about 30 minutes from the city centre in a lovely, residential area called Pankow. I never actually met Elektra, but communication was easy and the flat (and my room) absolutely perfect : clean, quiet, comfortable and unbeatable value for money. I highly recommend this accommodation and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again if I had the opportunity.
