Susan was a great host, and we really appreciated that she took time to wait for us to arrive after we got lost on the Berlin metro after our arrival at central station. Her house was in great condition, and after spending a weekend visiting other friends in their Berlin apartments, my friend and I could really appreciate how beautiful and well maintained Susan's whole apartment and building was in comparison. Her place was also close to some places I wanted to see, but for our NYE plans we took cabs (which are pretty cheap in Berlin) to get to places in Kreuzberg and Mitte. Susan also had a great Brunch recommendation, and was generally super accessible and helpful whenever we needed her throughout our stay. Definitely recommend staying here (especially if you like cats!)
