We had a great stay in Berlin at Mina's place! It felt clean, modern and spacious. I initially had some doubts because of it being not so central but in the end it was very easy to get around. There are metro and bus stops just around the corner. It is especially convenient if you are travelling from Tegel airport as the apartment is a 10–min bus ride away.
The kitchen has good quality cooking pots and a nice hob so cooking there was easy. The area has some supermarkets and small shops where to go grocery shopping. The place felt very peaceful, especially in the evening, there is no traffic noise or loud neighbours.
We have not met Mina in person but she has been very kind and responsive to our messages. We have asked for extra bed covers and it initially felt chilly and here colleague has dropped in to bring some. Once the house warmed up, though, it was very comfortable.
Will be glad to stay at Mina's place again when in Berlin.
