The location of Katarina’s place was stellar and gave us easy access to all the best things Berlin had to offer. The beds were also very comfortable, and there is a very cute balcony where you can relax. Everything we wanted to reach was within a 10-euro cab ride away. The area was also well serviced by the excellent public transportation system with U-Bahn, buses etc all within easy reach.
Because of the hot weather, we kept the windows open, but since there were no screens on the windows, I was woken up by a large number of mosquito bites one night and subsequently, we had to keep the windows closed at night. This was OK and I was able to sleep, but the apartment was not cool temperature wise. You would also need to bring your own body wash and shampoo as we were provided with one round piece of hand soap.
Katarina's apartment is professionally serviced, and the staff downstairs was very helpful. The check-in process was swift, and the staff was able to answer all the questions I had during our stay. We were also provided with three sets of keys which was very convenient.
