Karin's place was fantastic. My wife and I were there for a week in mid May, 2017, and thoroughly enjoyed the space. It was clean, bright, decorated in a funky, modern, and artistic way (without being over the top edgy), and had all the amenities we needed in the kitchen and bathroom. PERFECT for a couple or two friends, or a single. The neighborhood location was extraordinary, on the western edge of Prenzlauer Berg, one of the best neighborhoods in the city, and a 20-25 minute walk south to the big Mitte sights of the B Gate, Museum Island, etc. A nearby S-bahn and tram made that journey even shorter when we wanted that. The Sunday flea market at Mauerpark was amazing, the best we have ever been to, and just a 5-minute walk. A nearby grocery store was a bonus! All in all, a perfect stay for us. We loved it and can't wait to return. We never saw Karin but her friendly son let us into the apt and helped us get settled. Karin was always available and attentive via text, however, which we appreciated. Many thanks, Karin! It was our first trip to Berlin and we have nothing but great memories of our stay. Best, Diane and Adam
