We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ljiljana and Toni's, who are wonderful and warm hosts. Ljiljana was incredibly responsive before, during, and after our stay, and did her best to help us when needed (for instance, we asked for an extra set of keys since the two of us were headed out in different directions during the course of our stay, and she was immediately accommodating). Her instructions and advice throughout the stay were impeccable.

The location is super central, which means that if you're a tourist, it's a perfect base for exploring the main sites - including Checkpoint Charlie and Museum Island. We are walkers, but Berlin has excellent public transport, so going further afield is not a problem. We needed to be at the nearby university, so this suited us again, but if you're into exploring Berlin's culinary or club diversity, for instance, be aware you'll need to go beyond Checkpoint Charlie. :-)

The room itself is cozy, with the bathroom adjoining, not en suite. While being part of a larger apartment, it's private, with a door between the main apartment and this bedroom/bathroom. I appreciated the sense of being both within a home but also separate from it. While we didn't use the balcony much, I loved Toni's collection of chilli plants! Thank you both for a great stay, Ljiljana and Toni, and perhaps we'll tune that guitar the next time we're back. :-)
