I am 72 and fussy (too fussy according to my partner) about where I stay. I want it to be clean, bright, spacious, good bathroom with tub and shower, plenty of hot water (at night esp), comfy roomy bed, well equipped kitchen, plenty of hooks and hangers and shelves to put clothing on, two night tables with lights (I usually travel with my partner)and quiet. If its not within reasonable walking distance of the major sites then there has to be convenient public transport to them. Jeanette’s place meets all these criteria and then some. She has slippers for your use (take your shoes off). She has a lockbox outside the front door with an extra set of keys (first time I have seen that and a great idea). A fridge that seems to have what the last folks left (which turned out to be very useful for us). One side of the building was a charming little vegan cafe with wifi; the other side a typical German food restaurant (Mittel ---?] nice ambiance where we had an enjoyable meal. The street is very attractive, well treed and quiet. Bus M41 and Sudstern U are very close, as are a few supermarkets. See my review on Tripadvisor for Kreuzberg to take in the highlights of this “hood’ as it is a wonderful break from the bustle and noise of the major touristed areas. The only things that were missing were no toaster (or microwave but I can see for space reasons not having the micro), and the top covers (no top bedsheet) were singles, so less than ideal for a couple who like to snuggle. When I return to Berlin, hers will be the first place I contact to ensure that I am going back at the end of a tiring day to a place I look forward to returning to and can feel at home in.
