Hilda is a sweetheart. She and I don't speak each other's language but she did her very best to understand me and was patient and sweet.

The flat is all one needs for a stay in Berlin, the location is great and the neighbourhood is great, with shops and restaurants all around you.

One thing to keep in mind that the flat is on the ground floor so you will hear some traffic, but Berlin goes quiet at a reasonably early hour. And the bedroom is in the back with no sounds! I liked the ground floor though... No lift waiting.
