Rosina and Andre and their baby are delightful, and they were friendly, generous and helpful. The room and apartment is fresh and clean. The main attraction is the location: right next to the Gemaldegalerie, and very close to the Philharmonie and the Tiergarten and Potsdamer Platz. It's central, so I found myself walking to most of my destinations (eg Hauptbahnhof, Reichstag, Konzerthaus, even the Museum Insel)... (Luckily the weather was nice!) If you prefer to be in a 'happening' part of the former East Berlin, then this won't suit you. But if you want a quiet, convenient place within very easy reach of a lot of the big cultural attractions, concert halls and opera houses, then you couldn't do better.
