Kerstin's apartment is uniquely located in a very quiet courtyard close to the noisy streets of Berlin. There is great access to the city via public transportation, but you would never know how close it is by the peaceful surroundings once you enter the courtyard. The traffic noise virtually disappears once you are behind the two gates between the street and the coach house. The apartment is spacious with a kitchen and private bath. It makes a great home away from home while taking in Berlin and all its amazing sights. Kerstin was a very kind and accommodating host. We highly recommend both Kerstin and her apartment. The only possible down side is finding street parking nearby, but we were incredibly lucky in this regard. Parking is paid by the hour during the day, but is free from midnight to 9 am. Many restaurants are located nearby and a pastry shop across from the street entrance has tasty breakfast selections at a very reasonable price.
