I had a fantastic experience!! The room was just as photographed and just a few minutes by foot to an S bahn stop and shopping center, but tucked away so it was quiet and peaceful when I was in my room. Barbara was so sweet and so patient with me because I didn't speak any German. Her English was great and she was able to direct me to some of the places that I needed to get to in Berlin. She provided a wonderful breakfast complete with fresh fruit, cheese, meat, and even warm rolls and jam. I wish I could have stayed longer!!
