We, a family of four, stayed at Simone's wonderful apartment for a week. Everythjng was as advertised, the modest-sized kitchen was very practical and had all the essentials. The small bedroom is very cozy (with a wonderful background sound of kids playing in a nearby playground during the day), the loft is sparse but special, while the lowest level provides a sleeper couch and TV. The neighborhood is quiet and safe (the occasional graffiti belies the otherwise gentrifying nature of this part of town). Laundry is a few bus stops away. Overall, a great experience, and Simone was very helpful; we felt like real "Berliners" for the week. Thanks, Simone!
