very nice and totally understanding people... i just met them to take the keys but it was a pleasure to know this family. the home is very special because it is one of the last un-renovated buildings in Berlin and when you enter the apartment you can get the feeling of old Berlin. it is close to anything, during my one month stay i rarely use UBahn, because everywhere i go was just in walking distance. but if you need UBahn it's just 2 minutes walk. the home makes you feel like living in a fairly tale, it's very inspiring with many plants, great books, a beautiful kitchen and very nice decoration. you have everything you need. i love the time i spent in this house and it was really sad to leave... highly recommended for the ones who want to have a real taste of Berlin!
