This is a great little get-a-way from the city center of Berlin. We reached Sven's Swedish cottage by S-Bahn and bike, though you could walk easily from the S-Bahn station. The space is clean and comfortable with good light. Sven was kind to set up a pack'n'play for our 18 month old and our 6 year old could sleep on the pull out couch. Our kids loved the garden and the ship sand box to the back. The host family is close but the situation of the cottage is such that you have the best part of the garden for yourselves. (they were away for our stay) For the most part we were outside but when it rained it was nice to have a little tv and wi-fi, and when the temperature dropped we were happy to have the fireplace (in addition to modern heating) The kitchen works well for preparing meals, there is a nice selection of organic teas as well as some basic food supplies (noodles, rice, coffee, spices etc) and we also were glad to use the outdoor grill. There is a great German restaurant next door that we ate at twice over the long weekend. The main bed is in the loft so if you are tall or make frequent bathroom trips it is something to consider. We really enjoyed walking into the woods( right next to the property) and riding bikes down to the lake and canals. Ideal stop for bike tours. We are happy to recommend Schwedenhaus am Wald and hope to visit again.
